Oizumi Sushi
The Experience
Oizumi Sushi is an intimate Japanese restaurant in São Paulo founded and led by Chef Danilo Maciel. The restaurant operates exclusively through an omakase menu, placing the selection and progression of each course entirely in the chef's hands. MICHELIN Guide
Oizumi's defining specialty is jukusei — controlled fish maturation. Rather than relying solely on absolute freshness, Maciel carefully ages selected fish to develop texture, concentration of flavor, and umami. Each specimen is evaluated according to species, size, and fat content before undergoing carefully controlled maturation.

- Additional Details: The name Oizumi pays tribute to Ōizumi in Japan's Gunma Prefecture, a city known for its significant Brazilian community. The name therefore creates an unusual cultural bridge between Brazil and Japan. MICHELIN Guide
The restaurant currently serves a single 16-course omakase, combining fresh fish of the day with species matured inside a specialized aging cabinet at the restaurant. MICHELIN Guide
MICHELIN highlights dishes such as toro nigiri with smoked salmon roe, sea bass sushi, bluefin akami on shiso, and spicy tuna preparations. Individual courses change according to ingredient availability and optimal maturation. MICHELIN Guide
Oizumi also places particular emphasis on its shari, using specially selected rice and house-crafted vinegar designed to complement the deeper umami of matured fish. Premium sake selections are available to accompany the experience. Oizumi Sushi
The format is deliberately intimate, with a maximum of 12 guests per seating. Counter dining provides direct interaction with the itamae, while MICHELIN also notes small private rooms for groups.
