The Cariocas – as Rio natives are known – love “their” Japanese cuisine, which has been brazilianized through the incorporation of local ingredients. In Rio’s most historic Japanese restaurant, it’s normal to wait a while for a table. Dishes ranging from salmon wontons to walnuts in a shiitake-sake sauce – and some of the best sushi in the city – keep guests coming back. Whether you choose to wish your fellow diners “itadakimasu” or “bom apetite”, this is the place to do it.
