Hattori Hanzo

A few metres from the Plaza de Callao you can find the izakaya Hattori Hanzo, a modern Japanese bar which recreates the spirit of authentic Japanese bars and, distancing itself from the usual sushi, offers a menu based on the typical dishes of traditional Japanese cuisine.

Hattori Hanzo recreates a typical Japanese street, with paving stones with decorated manhole covers and yatai stands – stalls where you can grab something to eat. In addition to a large bar that has a charcoal-fired barbeque on one end where different types of kebab are cooked, it has a large open-plan dining room where diners eat sat on the floor in the traditional Japanese manner.
