Canario
Powered by Google
Ajillo Bar Canario is an eight-seat, counter-only Spanish tapas bar tucked in a backstreet of Okayama's Omotecho district, evoking the small, unfussy bars found across Spain. The chef makes almost everything in house — sausages, bread, and desserts — while jamón serrano and salami are the only items imported straight from Spain, with the ham hand-carved from the whole leg to order. Signature dishes include ajillo (garlic-oil skillets of shrimp, mussels, or whitebait) and saffron-scented paella, paired with Spanish wine, sherry, cava, and cocktails. The counter can be booked as a private party space for groups of six or more, making it popular for dates and small celebrations alike.
