f the fusion of Japanese sushi,(raw fish, pickles, vegetables and seasoned rice with the exotic zest of South American ingredients and Brazilian warmth seems an unlikely combination, think again! Brazil is home to the largest ethnic Japanese community outside Japan and has given rise to an interesting culinary fusion of Pacific and Atlantic gastronomy.
You can now sample this intriguing culinary mix for yourself without following Portuguese navigator and explorer Pedro Cabral on his epic 1500 voyage of discovery and colonisation to the South American continent. A mere taxi ride to Sushinho, London's newest restaurant awaiting your discovery in the lower reaches of Chelsea in the King's Road, will suffice.
Here, Brazilian chef Carlos Maia will titillate your taste buds with his fusion of traditional Japanese dishes like the iconic Japanese hand rolled temaki or uramaki , (sushi of vinegar spiced rice and seaweed, filled on this occasion with tropical fruits and served with such Brazilian delights as nachos de salmon, king prawns or the famous South American empanadas, those delicious fried or baked pastries stuffed with savoury meat, fish or sweet fruit that, like Cabral, came from the Iberian Peninsula.
While waiting for your table or relaxing after your meal, step downstairs to the lounge bar and enjoy a sakerinha, the Japanese take on the caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail based on cachaca a sugarcane alcohol. For this the Japanese have substituted the cachaca with their own rice-based sake. - a heady mix!
