Itiriki, Japanese restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil
Itiriki is a Japanese restaurant in central São Paulo with modern furnishings of dark wood and minimalist design. It serves traditional Japanese dishes including sushi and other specialties in a calm, contemporary setting.
The restaurant opened in the 1990s during a period when Japanese restaurants proliferated rapidly across São Paulo. This followed a longer history of Japanese immigrants establishing their culinary traditions in the city.
The menu blends Japanese techniques with Brazilian ingredients, a result of Japanese immigration to São Paulo in the early 1900s. This fusion appears in dishes that preserve traditional flavors while embracing local products.
The restaurant is centrally located and easily accessible from the city's main streets. Visitors should make reservations in advance, especially during peak times and weekends.
The restaurant carefully sources local ingredients to reinterpret traditional Japanese recipes, creating dishes found nowhere else in Brazil. This approach turns each dish into an exploration of both culinary cultures.
