A couple nice details were the perfectly pickled vegetable and that our sparkling water that was served in small, reusable, glass carafes -- a welcome change from all the single-use plastic. We were pleasantly surprised to find everything else that Japan House has to offer. Next to the restaurant is a seasonal exhibit which was, when we visited, about Japanese ingredients. While it was neat to see the foods I'd eaten a million times in their component forms, what really stood out was the layout of the exhibit, lighting, aesthetic, and everything else that made it pleasant in addition to being informative. We also wandered around to see textiles and ceramics for sale, and settled into a cozy little area with lots of books on many different aspects of Japanese art and other culture, there for the browsing. It's easily a place I could spend hours of enjoyment. ---------- Almoçamos no Aizomê, que tinha sushi e udon incríveis, picles de vegetais variados e água com gás, servidos em garrafas de vidro reutilizáveis ​​em vez de plástico.

No andar de baixo, teria tecidos e cerâmicas à venda, além de livros de arte e cultura japonesa para ler. Eu poderia passar horas e horas lá, feliz da vida.

They were organized in lines with the most recent pieces towards the front and the older pieces near the back. Because of this set up, the information about each work was on the back which makes you take the work in before knowing anything about it. There was also a good mix of Brazilian artists and more well known "classic" artists. Very cool.
