Sao Paulo is not only the biggest city on earth it is also the home to the most Japanese outside of Japan – more than 1.5 million… This makes the more than 1000 Japanese restaurants easier to comprehend. Kinoshita has won numerous Brazilian accolades and operates at the very highest level. If you want a benchmark, think Nobu, and were this restaurant in Europe it would certainly be Michelin starred. The more cutting edge dishes – like seared foie gras – are underpinned by ultra-fresh, ultra-traditional nigiri sushi and whisper-thin crisp tempura. The presentation is elegant in the extreme – for once you really do get a “picture on each plate”.  The master himself is behind the sushi bar and will strike a conversation with everyone around him. Worth the trip!
