"Brazil is home to more than 2 million Japanese immigrants and their descendants, making the country one of the largest diaspora communities outside Japan. The cultural impact couldn’t be more evident in São Paulo’s premier sushi bars like Shin-Zushi, where second-generation chef Ken Mizumoto shows off his skills. His knives create perfect pieces of buri and toro sashimi, plus sardines, eels, and squid nigiri. Tradition is the rule here, with no bells and whistles. For the best experience, sit at the bar." - Rafael Tonon
