São Paulo is famous for its Japanese restaurants and having eaten at Kan I can understand why. The food especially the sea urchin temaki and soft warm smoky sea urchin nigiri I was too overexcited to snap were off the scale, the skill in fashioning them mesmerising. Thanks @andreldeluca for a very special treat. . . . #japanesefood #sushi #sashimi #nigiri #temaki #saopauloOne of the most iconic dishes of Brazilian cuisine is Moqueca, an aromatic seafood stew made with red dendé oil and coconut milk and served with rice and farofa (of course) for extra crunch plus an optional drizzle of chilli oil. This was the version at @jiquitaia at lunchtime today in São Paulo and very tasty it was too. . . . #moqueca #seafood #fishstew #brazilianfood #jiquitaia #saopaulofoodSome terrific Brazilian food at lunchtime @manimanioca today. Fish wrapped in banana leaf with a bean salad and delicious small sweet chillies, farofa and plantain purée, another great salad (Gorgonzola, apple and candied walnuts) and lascas de polvilho which are super delicious giant puffed up crackers made with manioc flour. And - big surprise - a glass of Brazilian orange wine from @era.dos.ventos made from trebbiano. . . . #fish #bananaleaf #farofa #salad #lascasdepolvilho #manioco #saopaolo #jardim #brazilianfood #brazilianwine #orangewineFascinating trip to @vinicolagoes to see how they make winter wines from vines that are basically tricked into having a harvest during the dry but still warm winter rather than the summer, an innovative way of getting round the semi-tropical climate in some regions of Brazil. Will be writing more on this. #brazilianwine #presstrip. . . . #vineyard #vines #winesofbrazil #harvest #winterwines #instawine #winestagram Follow on Instagram
