"To convey the gastronomy of contemporary Spain, the chef adopted the concept of Barcelona's local cuisine with a modern sensibility. Pan con tomate is just one Catalan tradition. All ingredients are painstakingly selected to whet the appetite with their lightness. The restaurant’s name means ‘I’m hungry’ in Catalan." - Michelin Inspector

"A striking, two-toned counter–mint-green on the inside, pale grey on the outside–anchors the interior of Tinc Gana, the elevated sibling of contemporary Spanish gastrobar Gracia. Owner-chef Jerome Quilbeuf oversees operations in the open kitchen, stopping to joke with the guests as he tops up their glasses of wine. There’s a small terrace with jaunty blue-and-white wicker chairs for aperitifs outside, and a subterranean watering hole outfitted with a fireplace for after-dinner drinks in Quilbeuf’s Abajo bar next door. This place is popular with hospitality-industry types and foodies in the know–it’s not uncommon to spot local restauranteurs having a meal on their days off, or celebrity chefs visiting Tokyo. The menu varies with the seasons but will likely start with pan con tomate, draped with 36-month-aged Joselito jamon. Quilbeuf, who spent years as the head chef at Spain’s three-Michelin-starred Sant Pau and its two-starred Tokyo outpost, shows his creativity in dishes such as charcoal-grilled tuna with pine-nut sauce, olives, and tomato confit and saffron-scented paella shaped into onigiri rice balls and served with a sauce of shrimp bisque." - Melinda Joe

JAN 2026 Visited for dinner with a reservation and had the chef's signature omakase which included three amuse-bouche, 36 months Iberico cured ham on Spanish tomato bread, three appetizers, a fish, meat and rice dish, pre-dessert, Basque cheesecake and petits fours. The menu only listed the main ingredient used for each course but the dishes were explained in detail when served. Dining went for 2 hours and everything was delicious; the starters were solid, the raw tuna appetizer worked surprisingly well with the strawberry, and my favorites were the fried scallop with herb sauce appetizer and the monkfish dish paired with squid and mushroom. Also the Basque cheesecake was one of the creamiest I had. Overall a very tasty contemporary Spanish omakase, and the staff and chefs were friendly.

We have never tried Spanish food in Tokyo. This time we tried our first experience. The dish so far are delicious. The tapas and the Pan con Tomate are more than delicious. The cold soap is wonderful. However the duck is a great disappointment. It is very tough so that it is almost impossible to cut. The cheese cake is lovely though.

Very cool modern Spanish, excellent food and service with a good vibe. We were sat at the counter with a full view into the open kitchen. Had the full tasting menu, every plate that came out was delicious, sometimes with tasting menus you might get one or 2 average courses but here everything was very very good. Highlights were the 3 appetisers (shrimp croquettes were amazing), scallops in black garlic sauce and the red bream. Desserts were also outstanding. The Jerome cheesecake reminded us of the famous one at La Vina in San Sebastián but better! And the banana split was to die for. The tasting menu really is great value especially for Uk visitors at the current exchange rate. Good wine list and they also made us cocktails on request. Also a word for the amazing front of house who looked after us so well.

Worth every penny. I think we got the smaller tasting menu which was absolutely the right amount of food. We got there right when it opened and were the only people there for a solid hour. The service was attentive and friendly. My wife said the stingray was her favorite thing she ate the entire time we were in Japan!

We had a birthday dinner with the seasonal menu. The food presentation was really good and the service was to match. We had 6 courses and 3 desserts. While we enjoyed some dishes (the bread with tomatoes, the tortellinis) more than others (the venison was ok, but it didn't stand out) we were overall very happy. The deserts were great as well, with the sea water ice cream providing quite a unique experience. The only thing to note is that initially we booked the "chef special omokase menu" but we ended up getting the normal seasonal menu. While it was cheaper and still great, I would have preferred to be notified of the change.

Tinc Gana whisked us on a delightful culinary journey through Spain's flavors. From the first bite of country bread and tomato to the last nibble of petits fours, every dish danced on our taste buds. The 36-month aged Iberico ham was a savory symphony, while the swordfish ceviche sparkled with freshness. King scallops bathed in black garlic sauce, followed by turbot adorned with mole sauce, transported us to coastal Spanish bliss. The Iberico pork pluma was a tender delight, and the Jérôme cheesecake was a sweet crescendo to an already harmonious meal. The ambiance was cozy, the staff attentive. Chef Jérôme Quilbeuf's meticulous selection of ingredients truly shone, bringing Barcelona's culinary soul to Ichigaya. We left with contented smiles, already planning our return to Tinc Gana's delectable embrace.

Amazed by the delicious food set forth by Tinc Gana’s team! What was mind-blowing: pincho, salmorejo, pan con tomate, iberico steak, olive oil custard and the burnt cheesecake. What was good: The wine and cheese selection. What was mediocre: scallop, fish, onigiri. Will I come here again? The price point is a little high but for a celebratory event, definitely a good spot! We paid ¥50,000+ for 2 people with about 3 glasses of wine per person.

Tinc Gana, owned by the talented chef Jerome Quilbeuf, this spanish restaurant is a must-visit for foodies and wine lovers alike. Each plate is full of vibrant colors and bold flavors. Also it has a wide selection of wines to choose from. The chef is using seasonal ingredients. This means that the menu is always changing, offering new and exciting dishes throughout the year. I recommend to try Chef Jerome Quilbeuf's famous cheesecake, I would say that is one of best cheesecake from Tokyo and possibly from Japan. P.S. the pictures are from late January, the current menu has been changed. Average price: 12.000~19.000 JPY (90~140€)
