Get your chopsticks out of the drawer and take advantage of these convenient tips
You can confess, there are days when getting up from the couch becomes a tremendous sacrifice, right? Especially on colder nights, or when people are just plain lazy, delivery services come to save the country for those craving home-cooked meals. According to iFood, Brazilians really like to order sushi, being the ninth most popular option among the population.
But let’s face it, it’s not often that Japanese delicacies are fresh and tasty. To dispel any doubts about where to order Japanese food in Sao Paulo, here are the five suggestions approved by the Paladar journalists.
Sushimu
Led by Jun Murakami, Sushimu features a modern, delivery-only format, maintaining high quality and bringing family stories into every recipe. It is worth starting by trying a pair of Niguiri Yellow Tail (R $ 30), the Niguiri Shake Truffle, a pair of Salmon with White Truffle Butter (R $ 38) and the Niguiri Maguro, a pair of Tuna (R $ 35) . The Crispy’s Shake comes with 8 perfect cuts of salmon, flying fish roe and crunchy vegetables, served with vinegar soy sauce, made with house balsamic and soy sauce (R$49) and the Yellow Tail Slide, with 12 cuts of Hamachi, jalapeno and coriander sprouts in Ponzu sauce (R$ 69).
Service: Delivery only, via Ifood | Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 3pm (lunch) and 6pm to 10.30pm (dinner) | @sushimu.jp
By Koji
Chef Koji Yokomizo is the name at the helm of By Koji. With two stores in São Paulo, the brand brings to the public the refinements of the most traditional Japanese cuisine by employing contemporary elements in the kitchen. Highlights at By Koji are the Temakizushi Ikura (R$73), a cone with salmon roe, and the Yakimono Anchova no Shioyak (R$63), a grilled anchovy.

Aizome
Aizomê delivery offers a wide and diverse offering of dishes and sushi, including options for drinks, cocktails, desserts and gifts from Ichiba, the small shop attached to the Jardins restaurant. For that romantic date, chef Telma Shiraishi suggests the “Special Luxury Box” (R$440), which includes twelve sashimi, ten niguirizushi, six mixed makimono and two misoshiro.

Watanabe
Watanabe took inspiration from America’s most famous addresses and got authentic touches from chefs Denis Watanabe and Eduardo Takeshi, who invested in hot dishes to stand out. On the extensive menu, the focus is on the Haddock Niguiri (R$25) and the Fish Ceviche (R$30), prepared with blades of sea bass.
