| - I didn't know what to expect with Japanese/Brazilian fusion, but this place exceeded my expectations. We tried a mixture of classic sushi, miso soup and some fusion dishes. The sushi was exceptionally fresh with unique presentation.
Fusion dishes to try:
El Topo (roll), which had salmon, jalapeño, shiso leaf, fresh melted mozzerella, crispy onion. It sounds absurd and it was just that... absurdly delicious.
Carnaval (roll)- shrimp, avocado, yellowtail, soy paper. This one wasn't as good as El Topo, but still offered a cool twist on a typical Japanese favorite.
Miso soup - it was a great miso but with added cilantro to lend to the Brazilian side of the restaurant. Amazing twist!
Wagyu gyoza - kabocha purée and su-shoyu dipping sauce made this sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. We ended up ordered another batch after downing the first order in 30 seconds. So good!
We also ordered some Robata items, which were great, but paled in comparison to the fusion dishes and the sushi items. This place is absolutely worth a stop! Also, the price is right. We ordered a ton of food for 5 people and the bill was reasonable!
