Shibumi

Quito, Ecuador

A must for sushi fans visiting Quito, Shibumi pairs an intimate counter with a few small tables and a chef who really knows his fish. Trained in Copenhagen, Junior Córdova Galarza takes a vibrant, Ecuador-inflected approach to traditional Japanese sushi and sashimi, making the most of the outstanding local ingredients available year-round. The extensive a la carte menu ranges from panko prawns and a seared tuna and mango salad to individual nigiri, sashimi and a variety of rolls – among them the Shibumi kaburimaki with red tuna, crab and cucumber. The good-value combos, typically including miso soup and a selection of sushi and sashimi, are well worth exploring. Ask for the omakase menu and place yourself in the very capable hands of the chef.
