Our story
We are Sushisamba
Only at SUSHISAMBA will you find a unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian culture and cuisine.
SUSHISAMBA is born of the energy and spirit of these three distinct cultures, a tri-cultural coalition that took root in the early 20th century when thousands of Japanese emigrants traveled to South America’s fertile soil to cultivate coffee plantations and find their fortune. In bustling cities like Lima in Peru, and São Paulo in Brazil, the integration of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cultures flourished.
Equal parts imagination and history, the SUSHISAMBA experience is truly unique. Beating at the heart of SUSHISAMBA is a deep appreciation for enjoying life and celebrating with friends. Visit our locations in UK, USA, Middle East and Asia.

Charity partners
Cool earth
The plight of the Amazonian rainforest holds special meaning for SUSHISAMBA. The brand’s roots in Brazil and Peru combined with our passion for supporting the Amazon, have paved the way for the SUSHISAMBA and Cool Earth global partnership.
Cool Earth is a non-profit organization that works with rainforest communities to halt deforestation and climate change. Cool Earth doesn’t create reserves or put up fences, it gives control back to the people. This approach aligns with SUSHISAMBA’s ethos of preservation, sustainability, education and social consciousness.
SUSHISAMBA has partnered with Cool Earth since 2015, from chefs’ trips to meet the Asháninka, a community in the Amazon, to epic fundraisers that raised awareness and funds for Cool Earth’s crucial cause, the SUSHISAMBA/Cool Earth partnership has already impacted the region positively.
