Rino

Eater rec.  Know before you go: The space is tiny — just eight seats at the counter — so it’s best to book ahead. In a city renowned for the quality of local seafood, it’s no surprise that Japanese cuisine has flourished. Rino is the latest venture from celebrated sushi chef Masaki Onishi, right by the sea in Matosinhos. This small izakaya and sushi bar, with light wood and minimalist decor, offers precise sushi and sashimi made with local catch, along with a handful of traditional Japanese hot dishes that may be less familiar to some Portuguese diners, like miso-marinated pork belly or braised ox tongue.
