Japanese food in Sao Paulo "Noda "

🍣 Noda: São Paulo's New Japanese Gem in Jardim with Creative Twists Thanks to my foodie friend, I finally checked out this Jardim newcomer where the chef recommends a la carte over omakase (more bang for your buck!). Here’s the scoop on why their fried oysters and soy sauce ice cream stole the show: 🌟 Must-Order Highlights: From Crispy Bites to Mind-Blowing Desserts Fried Oysters: Crunchy exterior, melt-in-mouth oyster inside—squeeze of lemon cuts the richness. 🦪 Hot tip: Eat them fresh for that perfect sea-sweetness. Soy Sauce Ice Cream: Salty-sweet like sea salt caramel—soy umami meets creamy dairy. 🍦 Zero weirdness, just liquid caramel pudding vibes. Yuzu Ice Cream: Zesty yuzu aroma with balanced bitterness—tastes like eating fresh citrus pulp. 🍊 Refreshes the palate between sushi bites. Plum Ice Cream: Tangy like preserved umeboshi—sharp acidity cuts through rich dishes. 🍡 A must with fried foods. 💡 Chef’s Tips & Hidden Pairings Fish Roe Sushi + Tamagoyaki: The complimentary tamagoyaki is shockingly sweet and pudding-soft. 🥚 Stack fish roe sushi on top for a salty-sweet explosion—chef’s secret combo! A La Carte Strategy: Go for the sashimi platter (recommend snapper and chu-toro) or uni/toro sushi. 🍣 Skip omakase to mix and match. 📝 Verdict: Quality Meets Creativity Pros: Fresh ingredients, reasonable prices for the quality Chef is super chatty (asks about preferences, explains each dish) Desserts are SP’s most innovative Japanese treats Cons: Sushi rice could be tighter, vinegar flavor mild R$250+ per person, but cheaper than most Japanese spots 🌟 Final Take: Go for the Ice Cream, Stay for the Vibes Visit if: You’re dying to try soy sauce or plum ice cream You love chatting with chefs about ingredient origins You want creative Japanese food without breaking the bank Noda proves that Japanese cuisine can surprise beyond sushi—next time, I’m coming back for their seasonal fried specials (and another triple ice cream scoop!). 🍨✨ 📍 Address: Jardim district (exact address available on request) 💰 Price: R$250+ per person #SaoPaulo #JapaneseFood #JardimEats #CreativeDesserts #NodaRestauran
