GRU - Hakka Japanese Sushi


Been looking for a good Japanese sushi place in SP? I've found a restaurant called Hakka that offers all-you-can-eat sushi and other Japanese fare for a moderate price.

You'll have to take a cab, but it'll only be about 15-20 Reals or so from the Hotel Tivoli on Alameda Santos. Not too bad if you go with a few of your buds. The address is:

1146 Rua Gomes de Carvalho
Vila Olimpia, SP
(11) 3044-6544

So, give it a try. Fill up on great sushi and tempura, and those crazy sno-cone looking rice thingies...

NRT Airport Sushi

I've heard about the airport sushi place from a number of Narita veterans. It's located between gates 32 and 33 on the north side of the concourse. I'm not a sushi connoisseur, but this sushi is the best I've ever had.

There are many different plates you can get. The most common is the mixed plate, that has a good variety of sushi staples plus a spring roll. I've only gotten the mixed plate, as I like the variety, but I've seen other crews get just tuna (sashemi), and a vegetarian plate. Here's a pic,

Sadly, I took it after it was jostled around a bit on the walk to the cockpit, so the sushi does not look as pristine as it was when I first picked it up.
The mixed plate was 1000 (about $10) at the crew rate, which is apparently a good deal for sushi. If they are busy, it can take a while for them to prepare your plate, so you can have ops call ahead for you with your order. That'll save a few minutes.
They only give you two small packets of soy sauce, so if you want some more, just ask before you walk to the airplane. The wasabi mustard sauce packs quite a kick, so unless you want your nosehairs burned off with the reverse wasabi inferno, use sparingly at first.
Enjoy!
