Brazilian sushi, born in São Paulo

In 1908 the first Japanese families landed in São Paulo after three months at sea. A century later Brazil has the largest Japanese community outside Japan, and a sushi tradition of its own, with mango, cream cheese, passion fruit and crispy onion, built in Brazilian kitchens by Brazilian-Japanese chefs.

That is the sushi we serve. The delicacy of Japan meeting the colour and the sugar and the acidity of Brazil: raw fish everybody already loves, put together with flavours that do not appear anywhere in Tokyo.

What to order first

The signature sashimi selection if you want to see what the counter can do. The taco poke if you want one bite that explains the whole place: raw fish, a crisp taco shell, lime and heat. The combo if there are two of you and you cannot decide.

Why the name matters

Brazilian sushi sounds like something a marketing department made up. It is not. Japanese families settled in São Paulo a century ago and their cooking grew up there, with mango, cream cheese, passion fruit and heat. What you get here is that kitchen, not a twist on it.
