He is so proud of his family, and they look at him the same way. That's respect to the form right there.

[@JONACYDETV]

When they give the family hug, they roll up perfectly like sushi. That's years of practice right there.

[@Beckala67]

The family bonding is what's more remarkable than the food. You can see how it's the glue that keeps them so successful though the heat, rain and the everyday stress of the restaurant business in an outdoor setting. Love that!

[@caliado]

This man has not learned by books but learned through life - a true character

[@AnaPeralta]

It was a incredible day shooting with Barcellos's family in Rio. So hard, but so exciting too! So proud of the result! Thanks Munchies!

Comeu o sushi?

[@toBe8ere]

As a Japanese-American from Los Angeles with the American sushi I've grown up with alongside the very traditional sushi, I appreciate that he offers traditional, fusion, and uniquely Brazilian sushi. I'd love to try it one day!

[@thiferreiraoliveira]

Ola, vem no rio de janeiro.

[@sauloabraham]

Sou Carioca e já comi várias vezes o Sushi do Barcellos perto da minha casa e posso afirmar, é incrível!

[@jjohnwords2873]

Seeing as Brasil has the biggest Japanese population outside Japan...this makes sense his sushi would be legit

[@MrFreakzoidrj12]

This is more of a São Paulo thing, you don’t see a lot of japanese people in Rio, but we still love sushi here

[@RegulareoldNorseBoy]

Brazil and Japan? I never knew

[@gab.lab.martins]

You’d be disappointed. Sushi here absolutely fucking sucks.

[@SurprisinglyDeep]

That must be why Arnaldo Barcello offered a job on the spot to the visiting sushi chef/man who just came to buy some fresh fish for the day. Arnaldo knew he had a rare chance to "catch" a good sushi chef!

[@tzermonkey]

This sushi looks bland and boring. What differentiates it from what you can get at any market?

[@rongomaicollier8791]

I’m from New Zealand, and this place looks amazing I’ve been to high end sushi restaurants that were standard and the experience was nice but I would love to travel there the environment the family bonding the over all vibe and happiness beats everything when serving food and sushi being my favourite I know it’ll be awesome!

[@DUDEfreestyle]

This guy and his family are so humble and inspiring! What a beautiful and awesome family.

[@RaisedLetter]

This is the first real video I’ve watched listening to the Portuguese language. It sounds like Spanish, French, and Italian was combined into one.

[@yseson_]

Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Romanian are all Latin creole languages

[@RaisedLetter]

@@yseson_ ah. So that's what ties them all together. Thanks for sharing me that fact.

[@TheAxeaman]

@@yseson_ No, they are Romance languages.

[@utilisateurlambda7983]

Really? Brazilian Protuguais is very different from European Protugese in pronunciation. when you have a protuguese and a brazilian speaking together, you have the impression that they speak two different languages. From there to mix it with French .. There is more common word with English in French than there is with Brazilian.

[@mizonator]

And Russian haha

[@Eblis840]

I love this man's dedication to his food but more importantly his family.

[@fevereddreams3805]

i love that you feature A tiny section of the Brazilian culinary scene and i hope you have more in store. Exquisite.

[@xdxdsheep]

Modern day sushi was original created as a street food. Over decades, it became more and more upscale and became an indoor food. It's quite interesting to see it becomes a street food again in a different country.

[@jessicaboniecki5469]

U know this man is truly and genuinely just this kind in real life and it’s not just for show... by the amount of time all of his employees have been WITH him. Blessings, love this energy
