The Sushi Trail

Koi LisboaKoi Lisboa

Sometimes a simple smell or taste can make you travel to far away lands. A combination of colours, architecture and aesthetics may make you feel like you have just walked through a door and into a whole new world. Encountering new flavours and scents, new cultures and ways of life may be just at your doorstep. Whilst in Lisbon, visitors can enjoy some of the best Japanese food in the world. Lisbon is an ideal city to try some wonders from the orient. The atmosphere is soothing and friendly, inviting you to sit and enjoy the thousands of flavours that Japanese cuisine so proudly maintains and nurtures.

Sushi menus change depending on the season. These Japanese delights are prepared with the greatest possible freshness, so the rolls will vary depending on the fruits and fish available. Occasionally, Japanese restaurants have low tables and cushions on the floor, or even a private room for you to enjoy the delicacies of this oriental country in a zen ambience. The teas, sakes and even Japanese beers accompany sushi wonderfully, but a Portuguese white or red wine is equally a great choice. With top quality ingredients and fantastic service, a Japanese restaurant always offers a marvellous dining experience.
