Sao Paulo Treasure Day Restaurant “きんぼし”

🍣 Kinboshi: São Paulo’s Hidden Japanese Gem (No Sign, All Flavor) Tucked in Paraíso, this unmarked izakaya was a local tip-off—and it’s proof that the best spots need no signboards. We ordered 6 dishes for two, zero misses, and shockingly generous portions. Here’s why it’s worth the hunt: 🌟 Must-Order Dishes That Wow Braised Meat (Lean Cut Option): Two massive slabs of tender meat, not falling-apart soft but rich in umami. 🍖 Ask for the lean version to avoid excess fat. Perilla Leaf & Thick-Cut Pork Belly: Forget thin slices—this pork belly is steak-thick! 🔥 Wrapped in perilla leaves, it blends herbaceous notes with savory richness. Unique Miso Ramen: Broth deeper than typical SP ramen—complex, layered flavors. 🍜 A local friend swears by its distinct taste. Wagyu Donburi Hack: Tender wagyu over plain rice—pour braised meat broth on top for next-level flavor! 🍚+🍖=magic. Omurice Noodles (More Than Eggs!): Egg blanket over saucy stir-fried noodles with generous meat. 🥚 Noodles have a secret seasoning—hard to define, but addictively good. Elevated Fried Chicken: Crispier, juicier than average izakaya wings. 🍗 💡 Portion & Price Reality Shareable Portions: Our order could feed 3–4 people—we took half home. True Cost: 70–100 R$ per person when sharing, not 150+! 📉 Find It: Look for the low-key entrance at Rua Coronel Oscar Porto, 319. 🌟 Final Verdict: SP’s Best Unmarked Eatery Go if: You trust local food tips over flashy signs You crave authentic Japanese comfort food You want big portions without big prices Kinboshi proves hole-in-the-wall spots serve the best meals. Bring friends to share, pour braised broth on your rice, and prepare to be amazed—no sign needed. 🍙✨ 📍 Address: Rua Coronel Oscar Porto, 319 - Paraíso, São Paulo (04003-001) #SaoPaulo #Brazil #JapaneseFood #HiddenGem #Izakaya
