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. Meu chirashi estava excelente e do tamanho perfeito para o almoço. Mas o Japan House tinha muito mais do que o restaurante. Ao lado do restaurante, havia uma exposição sazonal sobre ingredientes japoneses com uma estética relaxante. 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.

You can browse the books they have on the first floor and also buy things at their gift shop. Upstairs there is a cafe/restaurant (on the pricier side) and another exhibit. Our favorite were the really nice bathrooms that have different settings on the toilets heehee, and overall it has a very nice minimalist interior and exterior design.

In the city of São Paulo, it has the Universitary City campus, located near the Butantã institute, and some others that are focused on a specific study areas (like Law or Medicine). The Universitary City is a really big campus, with lots of trees and buildings. Inside it, there are many institutes, schools and universities that are part of the USP (the School of Comunications and Arts, the Architecture and Urbanism Faculty, the Politecnic School, the Biomedic Sciences Institute, the Geosciences Institute, among others). In this campus, there are also scientific research centers and big libraries, focusing on different sub-areas of the Human, Biological and Exact Sciences. The campus is a good place for knowing people of all types and from all kind of places (there are many foreign students and teachers) and for widening your intellectual horizons. It's also a nice place for sports practice and for cultural events (from shows to book fairs), that happen all year long. The faculties and institutes also promote, all year, parties that are really cool and that I recommend for those who like the nightlife or those who are bored in São Paulo.
