Mr. Tanaka has been in the restaurant business for many years, but it’s fair to say he’s never had a better location than this one facing the Lagoa. There are several dining areas. The second-floor room is the most formal, with highly polished tables, leather-backed chairs and banquets along the walls that are decorated with intriguing abstract wall hangings. A popular option here is to eat in traditional Japanese style, where diners remove their shoes and sit at low tables set in open pits. The first-floor dining area is less formal and offers a view of the lagoon. You should opt for a table on the open-air terrace, where you can see the water and hear the sounds of Cariocas enjoying the recreational areas around the water. The food is terrific. There is a full sushi menu as well as a traditional one. The tempuras and teppenyaki dishes are delicious, particularly the shrimp tempura. Desserts aren’t special, but you can cross the street and pick up dessert and coffee at one of the kiosks around the Lagoa. Casual attire.
