The restaurant belongs to a young couple hailing from Sao Paulo, Thaís
Yoshimoto and Giovani Salatti who, along with some city hustle, packed
along their memories of the colours and smells of the yakissoba made by
Thaís's father. The charming little house on a narrow hillside street in
Pipa offers an appetizer of tofu prepared on the premises and served
with ginger, green onion and grated fish. Another menu option is
shitake sautéed in butter with green onion.
The main attraction is the typical dish of Japanese cuisine and the
restaurant’s namesake, yakissoba, which can be served with meat,
chicken, vegetables or a mixed blend of all three, or with shrimp. For
accompaniment, order a sake “caipirinha” with lychee, and wrap up the
meal with coconut ice cream topped with a sauce of candied ginger and
orange drops.
