🇧🇷 Japanese food SUSHIGUEN🎏🍣🍥

🍣 SUSHIGUEN: São Paulo’s Minimalist Japanese Joint with Hits and Misses Tucked in a Paraíso alley, this white-walled sushi spot serves up classic Japanese fare—think udon noodles and unagi don—with mixed results. Here’s the lowdown on what to order (and what to skip) during your visit. 🌟 The Winners: Where Texture Meets Flavor Handmade Udon Noodles: Thick, chewy, and slippery in the best way. 🍜 Served in a light dashi broth or stir-fried—either way, the noodle texture is unmatched. Pro tip: Order the tempura udon for extra crunch. Unagi Don (Eel Rice Bowl): Sweet soy-glazed eel over rice—rich, tender, and undeniably delicious. 🐟 Perfect for sweet-tooth sushi fans, but skip if you prefer savory umami. 🚫 The Misses: Freshness Fails and Quirky Presentation Uni (Sea Urchin) Sushi: Bland, lacking the sweet brininess of fresh uni. urchin 🍣 A major letdown for a premium ingredient—avoid at all costs. Seafood Sashimi Platter: Served in a bowl that resembles… well, you know. 🐕 The rice was stickier and more flavorful than the fish—yikes. Oyster Sashimi: Freshness on point, but the ginger-garlic mix overwhelmed the oysters’ subtle flavor. 🦪 Skip the garnish and enjoy them plain. 🎨 Aesthetic Over Substance? Tempura Presentation: Beautifully plated with edible flowers, but batter lacked crispness. 🍤 Style over substance here—tastes average, looks Instagram-ready. Decor Vibe: Minimalist white interior with Japanese flags—clean and calm, perfect for quiet meals. 🎏 Just don’t expect wow-factor service. 💡 Pro Tips for Your Visit Reservation is Key: Busy on weekends—book ahead to avoid waits. 📅 Stick to Cooked Dishes: Udon, unagi don, and tempura are safe bets; skip raw seafood unless feeling lucky. Price Reality: R$150–250/person is standard for SP sushi, but quality varies. 💰 Manage expectations. 🌟 Final Verdict: Go for Udon, Skip the Sashimi Visit if: You’re an udon noodle enthusiast You love sweet eel rice bowls You prioritize aesthetics for Instagram Skip if: You crave fresh, top-tier sashimi You expect consistent quality across the menu SUSHIGUEN delivers on noodles and presentation, but falls short on raw seafood. Come for the udon, stay for the minimalist vibes—and maybe bring your own uni. 🍜✨ #SaoPauloSushi #JapaneseNoodles #SPDiningReview #BrazilianFoodie #SushiguenSP
