Kan Suke — Restaurant in Região Imediata de São Paulo

I would classify Kan Suke with one word: traditional. This is raw, pure japanese cuisine. Chef Leisure Egashira presents an Omakaze menu with quite fresh ingredients and an amazing technique. But this is mainly the big thing here.

I do not agree with the Michelin star status of the place. Japanese cuisine can be traditional but also inventive. Maybe without the Michelin star (and the accompanying prices) I would have had a better experience.

Despite the class on cooking, and the amazing ability with the knives and the whole process of making the steps of the menu, the chef was sloppy on presentation. Some of the sushis had a piece of fish that seemed shredded. The inventiveness is to put shiso in many of the plates.

The place itself needs also a refurbishing. It resembles me of very humble sushi restaurants from Japan. The client could be better served, the idea of the menu could be better explained, the modern japanese cuisine could be applied at least in one of the courses. For me, making traditional food to deserve be noticed is something extremely difficult. It has to be superb to justify the choices made by the chef. In Kan Suke, traditional food was good, not excellent. And this would not make me want to return, especially when you could spend a very similar amount of money in other spectacular japanese restaurants in the city.

Maybe it was the fuss. Maybe it was the Michelin star. And the expectations built. But for what I had in mind, it was in another single word:...

Kan Suke, a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant in São Paulo, offers a traditional cold/hot omakase experience for 550 Brazilian reais. Given its reputation and the vibrant sushi scene in São Paulo, our expectations were high. Unfortunately, our visit left us somewhat disappointed.

While the ambiance and service were commendable, the quality of the fish, which is paramount in a sushi restaurant, did not meet our expectations. Many pieces had a fibrous texture, lacking the buttery smoothness one anticipates from top-tier sushi. In comparison to other high-end sushi establishments in São Paulo, Kan Suke's offerings felt average at best.

Considering the premium pricing, the overall experience did not justify the cost. Given the city's impressive array of sushi options, I wouldn't recommend Kan Suke and don't...

Authentic atmosphere, friendly chefs. However I was disappointed in the food as a Japanese. We ordered two of the 12 sushi and 1 of the 8 sushi. Every sushi had way too much wasabi, I had tears in my eyes. The unagi has too much sake flavor, the ikura that I was looking forward to, only tasted like the raw egg that was covering it. The staff were not hospitable when we asked basic questions like what type of fish were included - only replied with “I don’t know.” They were kicking their shoes off messily when entering the tatami area, which I expected more from a Michelin star restaurant. The ebi and toro, and complimentary...
