Fan Shoronpo

They take what they do in this restaurant in Gràcia very seriously. The mechanics of it can't be simpler: take a shoronpo and dip it in vinegar. Then put that on the soup spoon. Pierce the shoronpo with chopsticks so it absorbs the broth. Eat. Now you've got a new addiction. These little steamed Japanese dumplings are manna from heaven. My favourite is the foie gras, an explosion of flavour that will have your taste buds holding you hostage for more. But don't be dazzled by the stars of the house without trying the steamed bacon variety, which is an ode to simplicity. And take note of what I'm about to tell you: they make possibly the best ramen in Barcelona here as well.
