About Ichikani
Ichikani is a modern Japanese hand roll bar in Madrid with Asian twists, suited to a relaxed meal rather than a formal fine-dining occasion. It is a good fit when the brief is casual Japanese-Asian food, signature dishes and a flexible daily schedule.
The strongest reason to choose it is the hand-roll focus. The signature dishes include Spider Roll, Mr. Salmon Roll, Yakimeshi fried rice, Bibimbap bowl and Ichikani Tower, so the experience can move between rolls and Asian-leaning plates without becoming formal. The confirmed dress code is casual.
The hand-roll focus is the reason to go
First-timers should treat the hand-roll bar identity as the anchor and build the meal around the dishes Ichikani is known for. Spider Roll and Mr. Salmon Roll keep the order close to the hand-roll side, while Yakimeshi fried rice, Bibimbap bowl and Ichikani Tower add breadth for diners who want more than rolls.
The venue’s Macarfi 7.1 Food Rating for 2026 gives it an external quality signal, but the value case is simpler: Ichikani offers a modern Japanese hand roll bar experience in Madrid at a price of $55 per person. It is best understood through its confirmed facts: casual dress code, modern Japanese hand rolls, Asian twists and a daily schedule from 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
That makes the decision direct. Choose Ichikani when the meal should feel easy, social and flexible.
Use the long daily schedule to choose your timing
Ichikani is open Monday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM, giving it a long daily window for either an earlier meal or a later plan. Earlier in the day can be a direct first read of the concept, while later visits may fit diners planning around an evening in Madrid.
The confirmed dress code is casual, so there is no need to treat the meal as formal. It works well for diners who want a relaxed Madrid restaurant rather than a ceremonial Japanese dining room.
Because the concept centers on a hand-roll bar, the meal is most compelling when the order stays focused on the strengths: choose a roll or two, add dishes such as Yakimeshi fried rice or Bibimbap bowl, keep the table close to the venue’s core identity.
