Many people still look upon Spain as being a conservative country, very steeped in their traditions. While this is true to an extent and nothing to be critical about, in the past few years, the country has gone through something of a cultural Renaissance, and even more so in the capital city, Madrid. Despite the economic downturn which thankfully seems to be trying to a close, the Spanish capital, which was always something of an economic bubble, has flourished and become ever more cosmopolitan. Many see the reason why is that the economic downturn actually encourage the Gatos (residents of Madrid) to shake off the last remnants of their traditional thinking and embrace new cultures, especially with the constant flow of visitors to the city from every corner of the planet.

Fortunately, this is only one of the sushi bars that has the best reviews in Madrid. There’s much more to discover if you crave your California roll or Spicy Tuna sushi.

Always check out the website or reviews from a sushi bar or restaurant, some use more European ingredients than others and it all depends on what you like most, the traditional sushi, or the ones with cream cheese or kale for example.
