UMAI | うまい is an exclusive space dedicated to Omakase, envisioned by restaurateur Menandro Rodrigues. After careful consideration, he decided to separate the tasting menu from the rest of the restaurant, ensuring a team entirely focused on this refined expression of Japanese cuisine.

"Leave it to us. Trust our choices.”

In Japan, SushiYas work with a wide variety of Netás (over 100 types per day in some cases). With so many options of fish and seafood, it’s natural for customers to feel uncertain about what to choose.

That’s why our Itamae carefully selects the best Netás of the day especially for you.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO MANDATORY RULE, in Japan, it is usual to start with milder flavors, move on to more complex and intense ones, and finish with sweets.

OMAKASE AT UMAI

UMAI | うまい is a journey of tradition, techniques, and flavors that built a unique heritage in the heart of Copacabana. Always guided by the concept of KAIZEN (continuous improvement), we strive to perfect not only the skills of our team but also to strengthen our bonds with our suppliers and, most importantly, with you, our customer.

We are proud to be recognized by the Japanese government as a reference for using authentic and high-quality products:

Our founder and executive chef, Menandro (Nandro) Rodrigues, is a sommelier and holds international certifications in Sake (SAKE EXPERT, Japan Sake Association), and Sushi (SUSHI PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATE, Sushi Skills Institute / All Japan Association, No. 19.11.44). His tireless dedication to pursuing the best flavors inspires the entire team.

Here at UMAI, we believe excellence goes beyond high-quality ingredients – it lies in the hospitality and attention to every detail, and in the care dedicated to you, who is an essential part of our story.
