Believe me, it’s the best traditional sushi you can get in Porto Alegre. Period.

It’s still the best sushi in Porto Alegre, best fish and it respect a little bit more the real Japanese style. The atmosphere is nothing special, you go for the fish… much better for dinner than lunch time (cheaper options for lunch but the fish quality is very inferior..)

Sushi is the best (most authentic) I've had in Brazil so far. After living in Japan for three years I have been looking for something like this. It was very good, and the presentation was beautiful. Ordered the omikase. I'm glad I tried it. (Thankfully, NO catupiry). :-)

The definitive sushi in Porto Alegre done the best way possible in a chic hillside terrace that tumbles down the staircase. No cheese here.

I've been coming here for lunch on Saturdays for many years and it's been always amazing. They've renovated the entire restaurant not so long ago and it's now even better

Very fresh and tasty sushi and excellent variety too. Best I have had in Brazil and comparable to Japan. Caipirinha ok and Sauvignon blanc glass disappointing which I had.
