Ichisou - Review - Balvanera - Buenos Aires - The Infatuation

"Three generations of women from a family of Japanese chefs who were among the first to bring Japanese food to Argentina in the 60s created this quietly legendary spot. Behind an unmarked door in the unpolished neighborhood of Balvanera, an atmosphere of dark wood and simple decor lets you focus on what's important—the sushi. We love the chef’s choice platter, but if we’re feeling fancy, we’ll pick one of the set 7-course menus, where you’ll try Ichisou’s best hot dishes of the moment, like their miso ramen or a fixed sushi menu which includes tempura, miso soup, sashimi, nigiri, and rolls. Ichisou also has excellent ramen, gyoza, and non-fish dishes for those not in the mood for sushi." - Annie Bacher
