The Japanese venue of the Areadocks groupa sign like Yoshi who celebrates the 15 years of life, but also corners of the East rooted in Pisogne and San Paolo. The province of Brescia, although it does not win the highly coveted Three Wands, is well represented in the Gambero Rosso Sushi Guide 2025.
The “city of Madunina” reigns supreme in Lombardy: the eight restaurants at Tre Bacchette (the maximum recognition) are concentrated on Milan. They are: Ichikawa, Iyo Omakase, Nobu Milano, Nobuya, Osaka, Shiro Poporoya, Wicky’s innovative japanese cuisine and Yoshinobu.
The there are four Brescia establishments reviewed by the Guide. In the city there isOriental Japanese Restaurant at Areadocks. «Sushi and sashimi are based on the classics, with valuable touches, from otoro (the Mediterranean bluefin tuna belly) to blue lobster, through nigiri to cooked Adriatic prawns, mackerel or Australian amberjack – the experts write – . The rolls are balanced, in which the sauces are finally not exaggerated.”
Again in Brescia, the applause goes to Yoshi for the «refined, intimate and welcoming atmosphere» and its cuisine. The Guide mentions, in particular, «courgette flowers in tempura filled with prawn tartare; Wagyu ravioli with truffle or saffron puff pastry ravioli with scallops; or gunkan with salmon, quail eggs, ikura and truffle.”
The other two proposals are at home in the province. I am Yume Sushi & Fusion from Pisogne which «offers traditional Japanese dishes and preparations contaminated with techniques and flavors from the Land of the Rising Sun». And the Siseroshi from Scarpizzolo di San Paolo«excellent address by Luca Imberti, in the heart of the Lower Brescia area, where you can stop at the counter – in the second room, excellent kaiseki cuisine is served – for an immersive culinary experience among the flavors of traditional Japanese».
Overall, the Sushi 2025 Guide features 223 establishments which, as Gambero Rosso explain, «have invested in quality and innovation, including authentic flavours, but also more modern influences, for an increasingly popular food that continues to attract new consumers».
