## Key points

- Miyabi, a new restaurant in Pinheiros, seats only fifteen diners per seating in an omakase format, with fresh fish from the coast and rice (shari) served at body temperature.
- The tasting has about 15 courses, from small cold and warm otsumami to hand-shaped sushi, broth and dessert, with pairings of sake, white wines, sparkling wines and green teas.
- The omakase costs R$ 700 per person and the sake pairing R$ 330; the house is at Rua Marcos Azevedo, 86, and operates by advance reservation only.

Pinheiros consolidates its place as the epicenter of great Eastern cuisine experiences in the capital with the arrival of Miyabi. The space, designed for only fifteen diners per seating, is devoted entirely to the omakase format, a Japanese expression that translates as "in the chef's care." The concept steers clear of long menus and conventional combos to offer a living, changing sequence built from the freshest the sea has to offer on any given day.

## Strict respect for seasonal ingredients

The house revolves around impeccable cuts and mastery of fish aging techniques (edomae). Every day, the team selects specimens directly from artisanal producers and wholesalers along the coast, ensuring that species such as scad, bigeye, snapper, yellowtail and tuna reach their peak of texture and flavor at the counter. The rice (shari), seasoned with a rice vinegar of balanced acidity and served at exactly human body temperature, is the foundation that supports every piece of nigiri.

## A smooth, step-by-step journey

The tasting unfolds as an orchestrated sequence of about 15 courses: it begins with small cold and warm starters (otsumami), moves through a careful selection of sushi shaped by hand one at a time, and closes with a comforting broth and a delicate dessert. The pairings favor minimalism, using only subtle brushstrokes of artisanal soy sauce, drops of yuzu lemon, fleur de sel or a discreet touch of fresh wasabi grated to order on a skate-skin grater.

## Austere setting and tailored pairings

Miyabi's architecture reflects the sobriety of authentic Tokyo sushi houses. With spot lighting focused on the fine-wood counter, the room eliminates visual distractions to put the work of the sushi chef's hands at the center of the show. To accompany the journey, the house offers pairings with a selection of sakes, as well as white wines, sparkling wines and special green teas.
