Greetings! I’m Aya Hanaka, and I’m delighted to introduce you to Kasa Hanaka, a cozy and aromatic Japanese Café.
I come from the beautiful town of Karuizawa in Japan, where my grandma Fujino shared with me her special recipes for traditional Japanese dishes like hayashi rice, udon, curry, shortcake, and many more. Using the same authentic recipes and fresh ingredients in Barcelona, I create these delicious treats not just for my family, but for you as well, adding a touch of Catalan flair to the mix.
The name “Kasa” means umbrella in Japanese, which reflects our desire to create a homely and welcoming atmosphere in our café. My last name, “Hanaka,” on the other hand, translates to the fragrance of flowers, perfectly capturing our mission to add happiness and beauty to your life.
We hope to see you at Kasa Hanaka, where you can enjoy a slice of Japan in Barcelona!
Our story began in 2020, when we opened a cozy Japanese pastry shop in Gracia. In September 2022, we moved to our new location at the Villa Urània Centro Cívico, where we are happy to be part of a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood.
Our café is located inside the Villa Urània Cívic Center, a beautiful old villa surrounded by green gardens and lovely terraces. This historic villa was once the home of the famous Catalan Astronomer Comas i Solà, which adds a touch of heritage to our café’s atmosphere.
