Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Udon noodles | One of the Japanese food streets

🏠 Washoi Restaurant | Washoi Japanese Food 🗺️ R. Manuel da Nóbrega, n° 88 - Paraíso, São Paulo - SP, 04001-000 📍Prime Location in the Japanese Food Corridor Tucked along the eastern side of Paulista Avenue’s "Japanese food corridor," this restaurant holds a prime spot at the corridor’s forefront—impossible to miss! Its standout feature? A ridiculously comprehensive menu: bento boxes, udon, sushi, okonomiyaki, ramen, donburi… you name it, they’ve got every Japanese culinary classic covered 🍱. 👀Bigger Than It Looks! I initially thought it was just a cozy, izakaya-style spot with a few first-floor seats. But post-meal, I discovered a whole second floor packed with diners! It’s more like a Japanese food cafeteria—mostly Asian faces, but plenty of Brazilians too. Clearly a local favorite 👥🔥. 🍜My Udon Experience I ordered the udon, recommended in a seafood broth. The server asked if I wanted to swap the ramen for "macarrão importado" (imported noodles). Hmm, maybe they default to local Brazilian noodles? Pro tip: specify if you want authentic udon! The flavor was spot-on: that classic dashi umami from bonito flakes and kombu. Swapping to imported noodles nailed the texture too. And the cutest part? The dish came in a tiny pot with a wooden lid—so charming! 🍲✨ 💰Price & Verdict Average cost: ~70+ RS per person. ⭐Recommended! Pretty sure it’s run by Japanese owners. A solid spot to get your Japanese food fix in SP! #JapaneseRamen #UdonNoodles #FoodExploration #OverseasLife
