About

About Akiro Madrid

Akiro Nikkei Hand Roll Bar was founded by chef Luis Arévalo, a Spanish-Peruvian culinary figure who spent decades mastering Nikkei cuisine — the unique blend of Japanese cooking techniques with Peruvian ingredients that emerged when Japanese immigrants settled along Peru's Pacific coast in the late nineteenth century. Arévalo's work earned recognition from both the Michelin Guide and the Repsol Guide, and his vision for Akiro was to distill this fusion into a single, democratic format: the hand roll, served fresh at the bar.

The Madrid location opened in 2023 in the Barrio de Salamanca at Calle Hermosilla 40, immediately becoming one of the city's most talked-about openings. The space is built around a central bar where chefs assemble each temaki to order, ensuring that every nori sheet stays crisp and every filling stays at peak temperature. There are no reservations — diners queue for a seat at the bar, creating an atmosphere that feels more like Tokyo's izakayas than a traditional fine-dining room.

Co-founded by Faisal Barakat and Lucas León alongside Arévalo, Akiro has since expanded to Barcelona, Chicago, Milan, and is preparing to open in Dubai and Zurich. The menu balances accessibility — sets starting at €18 — with premium options like A5 Wagyu and Osetra caviar nigiris, making it equally suited for a casual lunch or a special occasion dinner.
