For Japanese food in Asunción this weekend, the easiest plan is Villa Morra: Kaitensu, with its sushi conveyor belt in La Cuadrita, and Almacén de Sushi a few blocks away. For a classic from the Japanese community, go to Hiroshima on Choferes del Chaco; and if you want easy parking, Fabric Sushi is in delSol, where the first four hours of parking are free at weekends.
Saturday in Villa Morra: conveyor-belt sushi and takeaway
Kaitensu (La Cuadrita, between Cruz del Chaco and Charles de Gaulle). It opened in October 2025 as the country's first conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, according to InfoNegocios (opens in a new tab). Small plates run along the main counter; each colour has its own price and carries two or three pieces. There is nigiri, sashimi, hot rolls, yakimeshi, Japanese fried chicken and desserts, plus tables for à la carte orders including ramen and Yakitori Club dishes. Once a week they run all-you-can-eat sushi at a fixed price.
- Ask on WhatsApp which day is all-you-can-eat: that night fills up.
- With kids, sit at the counter by the belt: they pick what they see go past.
Almacén de Sushi (Charles de Gaulle 456 at Hassler). It moved from Recoleta to Villa Morra in 2020, into a larger space with parking, per InfoNegocios (opens in a new tab). Sushi, temaki, poke bowls, ceviche and classic rolls, with a big delivery and web business. Good for a Saturday night in: order early, since Saturday evening is the busiest.
Sunday at delSol: park and eat
Fabric Sushi (delSol). The nikkei chain opened its first Paraguay branch inside delSol in September 2024, according to InfoNegocios (opens in a new tab). delSol is on Avenida Aviadores del Chaco at Profesora Delia González, per its official site (opens in a new tab).
- According to delSol's parking page (opens in a new tab), the first 4 hours are free on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays; after that it is Gs. 10,000 an hour, paid in the app, online or at the mall's terminals.
Where to find the most traditional Japanese cooking
Restaurante Hiroshima (Choferes del Chaco 1803 at José Martí). One of Asunción's oldest Japanese restaurants, run by the Oda family, per InfoNegocios (opens in a new tab). Recommended: teishoku (set meals), tempura, gyoza and sushi. Relaxed and family-run, good for a Sunday lunch with grandparents. On the same block, JETRO's 2024 list (opens in a new tab) of Japanese restaurants places Hibiki Resto Bar at Choferes del Chaco 1791 at José Martí.
Delicias Japonesas (Olegario Andrade 1696 at San Martín). Run by the Hayashi family, with a sushi bar, and known for wagyu beef raised by the family, according to the same 2020 InfoNegocios piece.
Kaiseki Sushi & Wok (Senador Long at Lillo). A younger style, with Philadelphia and Ebi rolls, sashimi, nigiri and woks, per that 2020 piece. Delivers.
