Uma Nota draws its essence from a captivating historical journey – the migration of the Japanese to Brazil in the early 20th century. Seeking opportunities, thousands of Japanese immigrants set sail for the fertile lands of São Paulo, finding a home in the vibrant neighborhood of Liberdade. Facing the challenges of adapting to a new culture and climate, Liberdade became a cultural hub where the Japanese community interwove with the vibrant tapestry of Brazilian society.

 

Inspired by this rich history, Uma Nota's founders, brother & sister duo Alex & Laura Offe, envisioned a space that pays homage to the dynamic interplay between Brazilian and Japanese influences.

 

In each Uma Nota location, meticulously crafted spaces tell the story of this harmonious blend, inspired by the founder's vision. The migration of the Japanese to Brazil serves as the historical backdrop, and Uma Nota emerges as a modern expression of the cultural harmony born from this rich exchange. The restaurant, through its design, ambiance, and menu, is a living celebration of the enduring legacy of this migration and the diverse flavors it brought to São Paulo and beyond.
