Michelin-starred Japanese Omakase; intimate counter seating, precise sushi
"Seated at an intimate counter, I found Ryo Gastronomia offers a balanced approach to Japanese flavors, marked by refined techniques, delicacy, and an impeccable lineup of sushi that presents Japanese tradition with quiet precision." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This restaurant has risen like a phoenix with a renovated look that retains its minimalist Japanese essence that connects us with nature. The main focus here is the dining counter (with seating for just eight guests) where the Omakase menu is the star of the show. The counter is complemented by a couple of tables that can serve another 10 customers, and where you can also choose between the tasting and à la carte menus. Chef Edson Yamashita is a master of the Omakase style, showcasing his incredibly precise cutting and slicing skills in front of our eyes (the sushi sequence is a spectacle in itself). The courses are particularly well balanced, and are enhanced with strong technique, a delicate touch and umami flavours that resonate on the palate. Before embarking on the menu, the chef usually shows guests at the counter a box containing the ingredients they are about to taste (Tuna toro, Pacific hamachi, sea bream, Japanese scallops etc), explaining the provenance of each one. In the evening, the Omakase menu is the most extensive and gastronomic of the options on offer here." - Michelin Inspector

"Earning its second star, this São Paulo spot from Edson Yamashita impresses for the excellent quality of the ingredients and techniques used to enhance the textures and flavors of each plate. The restaurant is an excellent example of Japanese cuisine, to be tasted from a different perspective." - Le Guide MICHELIN
"A São Paulo restaurant represented by Edson Yamashita, offering an online class that explores the zeal and simplicity of Japanese cuisine and adapts the restaurant’s techniques for home cooking via Airbnb’s interactive format." - Lyndsey Matthews
