Sao Paulo Omakase Ceiling
🌟 São Paulo, the city with the largest Japanese diaspora globally, is flooded with Japanese restaurants—but after exploring over 20 spots, I’ve finally found an authentic omakase experience that stands out! 🌟 📍 Kuro Restaurante R. Padre João Manuel, 712 - Cerqueira César, São Paulo - SP, 01411-000 💰 Price: ~R$600 per person (excluding drinks) 📅 Booking Difficulty: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Took me 5 tries—worth it for perfectionists!) 🥢 Why This Omakase is a Must-Try? Almost Impossible to Book The restaurant only hosts two seatings daily (19:00 & 21:15) with a maximum of 10 guests per session. 🕒 Securing a spot feels like destiny—and requires a R$300 pre-payment per person. Talk about exclusivity! 😅 Ingredients at Their Peak Bluefin tuna, sea urchin, wagyu—all flown in fresh from Japan. 🇯🇵✨ The quality is so premium, you can taste the ocean in every bite. A Chef with Vision The head chef is a man of few words but immense skill. 👨🍳 He explains each dish in both Portuguese and English, adding a layer of ceremony to every course. 🍣 Highlight Dishes from Today’s Omakase Menu Three-Kind Sashimi Platter Akami (bluefin lean), Ootoro (fatty tuna belly), and red snapper—so rich in umami, your taste buds will do a happy dance! 🐟💫 Grilled Bluefin Tuna Collar Crispy exterior, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Hands down the star of the meal! 🔥🍖 Snow Crab Chawanmushi Silky egg custard loaded with crab meat, paired with a mysteriously delicious sauce. 🦀🍵 Shiso-Wrapped Bluefin Hand Roll Served with freshly grated wasabi—one bite and you’re transported to Tokyo. 🌿🍙 Four-Piece Dessert Sampler Mini macarons + matcha puffs + cherry blossom sake chocolates + honeydew jelly—light, sweet, and the perfect finale. 🍨🌸 ⚠️ Honest Review & Tips ✅ Pros: Impeccable ingredients, top-tier service, and a minimalist-luxe ambiance. It outshines 90% of Japanese restaurants in São Paulo. 🥇 ❌ Cons: Pricier than average SP sushi spots (but expected for omakase). Booking is a challenge—but every penny and every wait feels justified after the meal. 💡 Tips: Book at least a week in advance via WhatsApp. ⏳ Do not be late—they only allow a 5-minute grace period. #SaoPaulo #Omakase #MichelinRestaurant #FoodieAdventures
