[Ebisu] An Adult Spanish Eatery is Born — "CHUSTO" with Charcoal-Grilled Cuisine and Spanish Wine

CHUSTO Spanish Bar & Vinoteca is an adult Spanish eatery opening close to Ebisu Station in Tokyo.

Ahead of its grand opening on Thursday, June 18, 2026, the restaurant has been running a pre-opening period of dinner service from Saturday, May 30 to Wednesday, June 17 — and throughout that pre-opening period, it has already been nearly fully booked with V&K's Spanish-cuisine fans (※).

The name "CHUSTO" was created by combining two Spanish words: "Chuletón" (a large bone-in steak or cut of meat) and "Justo" (meaning just right) (※). Rather than chasing flashiness, the restaurant prioritizes honest flavour and depth — Spanish cuisine that draws out the appeal of its ingredients through carefully selected wines and simple cooking. It's a place to enjoy the "just-right" balance of ingredients, wine, and people (※).

Here you can become familiar with quality food and wine without standing on ceremony, in a comfortable space designed with a thoughtfully measured sense of distance between guests, staff, and kitchen. It's a Spanish bar perfectly suited to a date with someone special or dinner with friends (※).

From younger guests wanting to gather over good food with friends their own age, to seasoned adults well accustomed to fine dining — this is a Spanish bar where people of every generation can enjoy "the real thing" without any pretension.

Although it's a new restaurant, the quality of the cuisine at CHUSTO rests on solid foundations. The operating company, V&K Inc., runs four Spanish restaurants and Spanish bars in Tokyo — every one of them officially certified by the Spanish government (※).

The group's sister restaurants are all highly acclaimed. "Salud y Amor" in Daikanyama has appeared in the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 11 consecutive years, and "La Panza" in Ginza for 8 consecutive years (※). On top of that, three of the group's restaurants were selected for Tabelog Top 100 2026 — earning overwhelming trust among food enthusiasts (※).

The group also enjoys extensive media coverage on television and in magazines, with regular live appearances on Fuji TV's "Nonstop!" and features on TBS's "Ousama no Brunch" and "Jinsei Saiko no Restaurant," NTV's "Gochi ni Narimasu," and the Nikkei newspaper (※). The proven Spanish-cuisine technique and restaurant-building expertise cultivated over many years have been generously poured into the new CHUSTO (※).

The restaurant's greatest pride is its charcoal-grilled cuisine, which draws out the deliciousness of ingredients in the most direct way possible. The signature dish is the bone-in "L-bone steak" — grilled over charcoal with exquisite precision to seal in the meat's natural umami to the fullest (※).

While rooted in Spanish tradition and technique, the dishes are elevated by ingredients from trusted Japanese producers. Only ingredients of assured quality make the cut: juicy "Akaushi" (red beef) sourced from Kumamoto, "Tankaku-gyu" (Japanese Shorthorn) nurtured by the rich nature of Iwate, fresh fish along with shrimp and octopus delivered from fishing ports nationwide including Iwate and Tokushima, and "Doro-buta" pork and Spanish cheeses from Hokkaido (※).

Also not to be missed are the carefully cultivated pesticide-free vegetables delivered directly from farms in Saitama and Chiba (※). It's precisely because the cooking is simple that you can feel the powerful natural flavour and depth of the ingredients directly. Traditional Spanish tapas and rice dishes fuse with seasonal produce from across Japan, delivering a fresh surprise in every plate (※).

Indispensable to fine cuisine are the distinctive wines nurtured by the Spanish land. CHUSTO offers an abundant selection of quality wines hand-picked by its sommelier from across all of Spain (※).

The interior is a space full of energy and warmth — as though you've stepped into a local Spanish bar or vinoteca (wine cellar). True to its theme of "enjoying the real thing without pretension," you can become familiar with quality food and wine without standing on ceremony, with even the sense of distance pursued to feel exactly "just right" (※).

The closeness between staff, chefs, and the guests gathered around the tables generates a genuine warmth — one that brings out the flavour of each plate and glass, the buzz of the Spanish bar, and the smiles of the guests all the more vividly. It's perfectly suited not only to a date with someone special, but also to a meal with trusted colleagues or close friends (※).
