There were certainly plenty of Japanese speaking customers mixed in with Portuguese. And I, the odd tourist, felt right at home. The bamboo shoot and shitake mushroom appetizers were delectable. The chicken broth ramen was insipid. The Gyukatsu Kare (breaded fried beef with curry sauce over rice) was better, but not the ultra crispy panko planks I've had in some places. Maybe it was because I ordered it at the end of the night. The Brazilian brewed cold sake was really good. Could hardly tell the difference from Japanese sake. But, the highlight of the dinner of Sanma Shio--grilled pike mackerel with sea salt. Inexpensive for Sanma, uber fresh, grilled crispy so that you could crunch up the head and tail! The service was prompt, efficient and very warm. Even the owner came by to chat several times. Arigato gozaimasu! Obrigado! Thank you.

It's not bad... We went here at night and to be totally honest we didn't feel that great about the…read morerelative safety of the neighborhood we were in. It felt a bit sketchy. Something to keep in mind if you're considering going here and you're a visitor. Other than that, the food is pretty standard izakaya fare- not that much of a Brazilian influence from what we could tell. And we're very familiar with the genre (tons of these in the NYC) so we knew what to expect. The food is pretty tasty and the service was pretty good. The restaurant kinda feels like you walked into someone's kitchen which is pretty interesting. But overall we've actually had much better Japanese food. So there's that. But not a bad option if you're looking for something completely different in São Paulo.

Absolutely the best place to have yakitori in the city. I got to know about this place when I used…read moreto live in São Paulo. Then my best friend, a Japanese living in Brazil, introduced me to this place and I never looked back!!! All their food is great but here's my "perfect meal": Yakitori: - Hassami Yaki (chicken thigh) - Tebassaki (chicken wing) - Nankotsu (chicken cartilage) - Shisso Maki (chicken kafta w shisso) - Okura (okra) Absolute must: Soboro Don (you absolutely must do this!!) Additional food: Takoyaki (octopus) Bonus points if you use their red spice flakes with the yakitori Enjoy!!!!

Good quality for the value…read more Will definitely come back. During the night is a bit of a quite place, but it's OK.
