This has to be one of the best Omakase I’ve ever had in my life, from the first bite of the bluefin tuna I knew I was in for a treat (I think I rolled me eyes uncontrollably). It started off so strong and it stayed at the same level throughout, every single one was phenomenal, well balanced and perfect flavored. 10/10 and so well deserved Michelin star Environment: simple clean elegant design, everything was very well thought out from the inside and out and elevates the experience Food: I would honestly come back to São Paulo just for this. All the ingredients were sourced from all over the world for the best quality, the seasoning on each balance out the flavor perfectly. Food from the kitchen were all like a warm hug. Chef(Ryuzo Nishimura) so nice and so humble, and you can tell he’s genuinely happy with what he does and that makes the meal special. I was lucky to get a seat at the bar to watch him showcase his beautiful art. As the only non-Portuguese speaker on the table, chef patiently explained every dish to me in perfect English. I was the last one waiting for my Uber after they close and chef saw me and waited for my Uber with me. Service: people were very attentive and they all speak English (for us non-Brazilians) Price: coming from the US this is such a steal for Omakase let alone at this quality This has become one of my favorite restaurants in the world, and I honestly would come back to São Paulo just for this. As someone who never write reviews I feel obligated to leave one, it’s THAT good. If you can only have one meal in São Paulo, THIS IS IT!

Era nosso aniversário de casamento, fiz reserva com semanas de antecedência inclusive falando da data especial. Seguindo todas as regras do restaurante que fala sobre honrar compromissos. Passei o cartão de crédito sob pena de pagar 300,00 por pessoa em caso de "no show". Chegamos 20 minutos antes do horário reservado com a confirmação do e-mail e nossa reserva não existia. No intuito de contornar a situação pediram que aguardasse fora do restaurante embaixo do valet pegando garoa. Quase 25 minutos depois fizeram um encaixe para nos atender. O menu degustação foi explicado e servido pelo garçom para a mesa ao lado da nossa segundo o tempo deles, como se estivéssemos de favor no restaurante. Pedi a carta de vinhos e só havia um rotulo disponível, uma vergonha para qualquer bom restaurante. Ao final pagamos 1600,00 aproximadamente, levando na memória uma péssima experiência de uma noite que seria a comemoração de nossos 22 nos de casados. P.s. no dia seguinte mandei e-mail para o restaurante e não obtive resposta, mandei msg no direct do Instagram e responderam apenas que iriam verificar o ocorrido, mas também fiquei sem nem ao menos um pedido de desculpas.

Infelizmente, preciso dizer que ODIEI o local. A começar pela recepção, onde a senhora que nos recebeu nos olhou dos pés a cabeça várias vezes (e juro que estávamos muito bem vestidos). Quanto aos sushis, quase todos os peixes estavam com aquele gosto de “mar” de sushi de quinta categoria! Serviram apenas niguiris e as variedades estavam apenas nos topos de peixes. Já participei de vários omakases, em diversas cidades e países e esse sem dúvidas foi o pior! Uma decepção!
