[@Dartflare]

Nandemoya (the restaurante in front Oscar Ramen) for anyone that grew up in the Sao Paulo's Japanese community is really traditional, it used to be on another address kind of hidden off Galvao Bueno, but it's a really cheap place to eat with good quality and it has that name because you literally have a bit of everything there, and it's on the Brazilian traditional "per kilo" system, where you pay for the plate weight.

[@GeorgeJapan]

Ah I see! I wanna try Nandwmoya next time I visit!

[@heitoroz7272]

Actually I do not recommend. The majority of good Japanese food places are already outside Liberdade.

[@r.f.9872]

@@heitoroz7272 Exactly, the Japanese restaurants in the "Jardins" neighbourhood are way better

[@GuilhermeHenrique1]

@@r.f.9872 yeah kinda, it depends. For contemporary sushi of course, it's a no brainer. But for traditional stuff Liberdade still has some pedigree (even tho there are decent traditional restaurants in Jardins, Moema or Itaim Bibi, ofc) They're just usually a lot more expensive in there, since you're probably expected to order at least an Omakase, or luxury-priced nigiri pieces

[@GeorgeJapan]

Thank you 😊

[@alexk.1405]

Why is it hard?

[@Hour882Die]

@@alexk.1405 It is a shock of different cultures. Japan has a very conservative culture and Brazil has a very liberal culture. Most of the Japanese people that I have met, I mean full Japanese, move back to Japan to study and work. Many "Japanese" in Brazil do not embrace the Japanese culture and probably would never be accepted as Japanese in Japan. It is like having a "Brazilian Japanese" that moves to Japan to work and walk down the street with his shirt off showing his belly.

[@AruanDrako]

Interesting how taste is subjective: Aska is famous specially for their noodle, they have their own recipe (maybe an adaptation for brazilian taste buds that won't go so well for japanese ones?). Diversity is good and fun! Gonna have to taste Kazu as well!

[@ShiroOlwe]

I tasted in Aska too, and I have the same opinion of George: Broth and meat are delicious, but noodles is just regular. Japanese traditional noodles are far way better.

[@GeorgeJapan]

I think the chef boiled the ramen a little longer than usual

[@wilsonoliver6194]

[@spadilha]

Totally agree! ASKA lamen is very popular because it's cheap, but it's definitely not the best. In Liberdade, I like Ikkousha and Kazu, but there's also this Japanese guy in Barão de Iguape (Shindo Lamen) that does a very good one. Outside Liberdade, there are Jojo, Jokempo, and HidenBy2ndFloor. All very good!

There is no way those fancy, commercial places beat the hidden, more traditional ones. There are small restaurants usually in upper floor of other stores, little to no signs outside, which feels more like homemade cuisine. I went to one only once, it was a completely different experience to those big restaurants.

[@celsowaka6838]

Just a tip to improve your Portuguese pronunciation: the "CI" in "DELICIOSO" is pronounced like "SEA", not "SHEE". If you say "delishioso" it will sound really Japanese🤣🤣🤣

something you need to try is the Pernil sandwich of Estadão Bar e Lanches. They opened the house in 1968 and that sandwich is almost a icon in the downtown São Paulo. For some reason it not become a tourist spot but it's really good and is really part of the city life

We used to be Aska's fans for a long time, but my wife (二世）is quite obsessed with making the perfect lamen. Last time we've been to Aska's, I told her that her lamen is better. We also went to Japan in 2016, and most of the lamen we ate there were no better than my wife's. I guess she's still trying to make a lamen as good as Gomihattin's (五味八珍) that we ate back in 2002.

[@mateusv]

What a surprise to see you in Brazil making videos, I hope you had a good time in São Paulo 😀 Also, it's really funny to hear you saying "Espaço Kazu" 🤣 It's totally understandable though, few places in the world have the "ç". You spelled "Espaço" like "Espaco", but the "ç" actually sounds like an "s", and not a "c". In the same way you say the word "soho", the sound of these first two letters "so" is what you say at the end of the word "Espaço"

[@Van_Wilder]

Hey George, here’s a list I came up with of places and activities you may want to checkout or experience in no particular order. Just a guide in case there’s one or two things that peaks your interest. PS: I haven’t been back post covid so some things may have changed but from what I understand, not much. Have fun and enjoy. 1. Cristo Redentor (Even for those of us who’ve done it plenty, it never gets old) 2. Parque Lage (do a brunch or lunch at the old 19th century mansion. Famous for the music video shot on location for the Snoop Dogg and Pharrell’s hit song “Beautiful”) 3. Jardim Botanico (This botanical gardens is rather popular amongst social media influences wanting to get that perfect Instagram pic of the 750 meter long “Avenue of Royal Palm Trees.) NB: when leaving Christ Redeemer, you could easily walk to Parque Lage and Jardim Botanico as it’s fairly close - if walking is not your vibe, then by all means, take an Uber ;-) 4. Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain) Time your trip up to the top an hour or two before sunset. Chill at the very top soaking it all in with a few cervejas (beers) and be sure to stay for the beautiful sunset. PS: just remember, there’s only one beer, and that’s Antarctica Original 😜 5. Praia vermelho (red beach next to sugarloaf mountain) 6. Praia Prainha, Praia do Grumari, Praia do Abricó, Praia do Secreto (it’s all kinda next to each other but be careful if you catching a Uber…cellphone reception is poor. What makes this so special is the landscape - definitely feels like you out of Rio and yet it’s “around the corner” 45min Uber drive. 7. Vista Chinesa (a little boring but if you do go make sure the Uber driver waits for you as there’s no cellphone signal to try and catch an Uber back) 8. Cachoeira do Horto (waterfalls and natural swimming pools) a stop just before vista Chinesa 9. Museu do Amanhã (museum of tomorrow) 10. Aquarium (a little further down from the museum) 11. Bicycle ride from Ipanema or Leblon all the way along the promenade to copacabana and then left on the Main Street (Av. Princesa Isabel) that passes Shopping Rio Sul all the way to Praia vermelho…double back and make your way past Botofogo on bike and all along Praia do Flemengo. Drop the bike off at a bike station in Flamengo and move onto your next stop via Uber. (No need to cycle all the way back from where you first started) 12. Hike up to Pedra do Telegrafo 13. Hike up Pedra da Gàvea 14. Hike up Dois Irmãos(two brothers) 15. Hang-glide off Pedra da Gàvea (book with Just Fly Rio and ask for my friend Paulo Celani. I’m sure you can book online but you could also just book at the booking office (meeting point) at Praia de São Conrado (almost at the very end of the promenade just before the dead end circle) 16. Have to checkout Lapa at night. Must go places in Lapa is Leviano Bar, Boteco Belmonte, Boteco da Garrafa, Rio Scenarium - Rio Scenarium is an awesome nightclub but of course there’s so many other hot nightclubs/bars worth checking out) 17. Escadaria Selarón (famous tiled stairs) 18. Parque da Ruinas in Santa Teresa - a little further at the top of escadaria selerón. 19. Bar da Laje in Vidigal favela on a Sunday - live entertainment with amazing views overlooking Leblon and Ipanema 20. Santa Marta, Rocinha, Vidigal favela tour or any favela tour for that matter 21. Bar Urca overlooking Gaunabara Bay located in the Urca neighborhood between Sugarloaf Mountain and Botofogo. Chill on the side street wall with all the locals with beer in hand while taking in just another beautiful sunset. PS: don’t be shy to speak to locals, they are the most friendly and welcoming people you’ll ever come across. 22. Drinks on a Tuesday night at Canastra (located in Rua Jangadeiros at entrance B of the metro station General Osório…a very good local spot in Ipanema but then again, keep in mind that there’s plenty other popular bars further up the road in the more affluent neighbourhood of Leblon (Leblon bars is where all the “rich and cool kids” hang out…quite the social scene happening there. Please also keep in mind that when partying late at night, unless you planning to make use of an Uber, walking in the busy area of Leblon is a bit more safe than walking in Ipanema, which in itself is a lot safer than walking in Copacabana at night. One tip I can give you is to use the tunnels at General Osório metro station to get around on foot when out late at night. It’s after and a lot quicker than if you had to walk the streets. Once you understand the layout of the metro and all its different exits and entrances, you’ll discover that it covers a large area between Copacabana and different parts of Ipanema. 23. Eat at Fazendola also located in Rua Jangadeiros, the same street as where Canastra is located but across the Main Street opposite the main square (this is a local eating spot like many others where you have the choice to either weigh your plate of food or “all you can eat” from the buffet) 24. Must eat at Carretão Ipanema Grill and Siqueira Grill in Copacabana 25. Best burger in town is TT Burger (located in Apoador between copacabana and Ipanema, good social spot at night 26. Eat at Garota de Ipanema (sit at the same table where the lyrics to the famous song “Girl From Ipanema” was birthed. Written by Tom Jobim and Vinicius Moraes) 27. Best Açai in town at Polis Sucos in Ipanema (I’m just being bias as this was my local go to spot to grab açai but there are much better establishments to get your fix e.g. Bibi Sucos, Maria Açai, Oakberry Açai in Leblon etc) 28. You have to do the following, a big must…have breakfast, lunch or dinner (or just a drink) at the Apoador Hotel…don’t sit inside but instead outside along the beachfront…best spot for ppl watching night and day, while soaking it all in 29. Drinks or lunch at the Copacabana Hotel poolside 30. Breakfast at Confeitario Colombo (at Forte de Copacabana…incredible views overlooking Copacabana 31. Lunch at Confeitario Colombo in Centro (very impressive architecture, worth visiting. Both points 30 and 31 is impressive and highly recommend you checking out both. 32. A soccer match at Maracana Stadium (make sure it’s one of the big four playing ie Flamengo, Fluminense, Botofogo or Vasco and be sure to pick a side) ;-) recommend you go with a local. 33. Checkout shopping malls like Shopping Leblon and Village Mall in Barra da Tijuca (very upmarket and quite impressive)…Rio Sul and Shopping Botofogo is also worth checking out I suppose? 34. Explore Tijuca National Park 35. Have drinks at any of the kiosks or restaurants located by Leme beach or below forte do Leme at night (or day) 36. Sunsets at Apoador (on the rock) 37. Lastly, consider the following trips outside of Rio…Buzios, Arraial do Cabo, Illha Grande or Niterói There is just so many places to visit and things to do I couldn’t possibly go through them all ;-) Enjoy and have fun Best tip, connect with any local to show you as much of this beautiful city as possible. Locals always knows best. Enjoy mate 👍🏻

If you ever come back to Sao Paulo, I strongly recommend Nara Lamen. It's a place that's considerably smaller than Kazu, but it's really cozy, and the staff is very sweet. The food is also great, of course, and there's a Bento restaurant close too!

In Rio, you can go tandem paragliding / hang gliding at São Conrado. The location where you find the pilots / agencies is near the shore at Sao Conrado Beach. You can easily find on google, but let me know if you need further help! Enjoy!

Go to the restaurant Azumi, at Copacabana!! It’s very traditional and the food is delicious

[@leonardosogabe1048]

Hi George! You should try a lamen place called Tonkostu Ramen, in Jardins. You'll love it!

[@imevee7771]

When you come next time, try to try the Ramen or Curry at Momo Lamen restaurant, it's a great restaurant in Liberdade too!

[@GuilhermeMVS82]

In Rio de Janeiro, I suggest to you to try the restaurant Marius Degustare. Very good sea food and Brazilian food. Have a nice stay.

[@kenzotaguti3814]

You have to go at Gurumê, its a Japanese restaurant at Rio de Janeiro. They have like a modern Japanese menu, and tastes fantastic !!! Lov your videos!

[@HeigthTrielli]

Hi George! The most traditional japanese food in rio is probably Mitsubá, but Miako is also very good. You should try them!

[@HeigthTrielli]

Also Haru recently won the prize of best sushi in Rio!

[@michellecampbell3894]

Try Yumê Japanese restaurant in Jardim Botânico for a unique experience. They say Azumi is the most authentic Japanese restaurant, but hold on to your wallet, it's expensive and the ambiance is not very nice, but they say it's where the Japanese go.

[@GeorgeJapan]

Ok! I’m going to try it tomorrow!

[@rdanger1513]

George you really need to go to Cabo frio and Arraial do Cabo in Rio de Janeiro, its beautiful all the beaches, search for beaches in that location, but its about 2 hours to get there.

[@Lukeormaybenath]

Wow nevermind me! You went there when it was sunny, and it's definitely a great experience!

[@luizs.oliveira5527]

George where you are going to stay in Rio ??? Lets go eat some sushi 🍣 or visit some tourist points

[@GeorgeJapan]

I’m in Lapa!

[@silviastanziola659]

@@GeorgeJapan Lapa is a little dodgy at night, I Think you'll be fine in Rio, but if you get some friends to guide you around, that will be your best bet - they'll know where to take and any areas that you need to avoid.

[@sailornaitor]

Me again just to say I love your videos❤️

[@GeorgeJapan]

Thank you!😊

[@flaviamarcato1750]

It was so pleasant see you here in Sâo Paulo. I hope you come back soon and taste our pizza and see other parts of the city!

[@decomush]

In Rio I would advise "Mestre Kami" restaurant. They food is based on Dragon Ball characters but they have some very inventive sushis. I personally like it. If you want to try something different, the esfishas in Largo do Machado are awesome. The name of the restaurant is Rotisseria Sírio Libaneza and it's quite near one of the Mestre Kami restaurants. Just keep an eye out on pulling your camera in this area as it can be somewhat dangerous.

[@GeorgeJapan]

Thank you for the info! Yeah I’ll be very careful!

[@fernandomartins1308]

The last time I tried ramen at Liberdade I went to Udon Jinbei. It has the same vibe of this restaurant but they make the noodle there. It's pretty good and you can see they preparing the noodle throughout the day.

[@GeorgeJapan]

I wanna eat Udon too!

[@brunooggionimoura3343]

You should try "Momo Lamen" next time you visit Liberdade!!! It's my favorite around there! 💖

[@danielkioshi]

The other Kazu across the street its an Izakaya of the same owner. Idk about Aska, but Kazu makes his own ramen noodles every day.

[@MsVioletFlames]

Ikkousha is the hiden gem!!! You gotta try their tonkotsu lamen next time!

[@pauloskinner]

Can't believe no one told you about the Liberdade fair at Sundays!

[@raviolimatt]

hope you come to the capital Brasilia theres not as much stuff to do but it is a very neat place

[@pedrosouza6676]

Great video!

[@GeorgeJapan]

Thank you for watching!😊
