Finding the best gastronomic experiences at WOW is already common for visitors to the cultural quarter of Vila Nova de Gaia. Now, one more is being added through a signature area entirely reserved for enjoying sushi – whether in traditional or fusion format – without forgetting vegetarian adaptations.

Respect for the raw material and creativity applied to Japanese culinary art techniques were the qualities recognized at Subenshi, a brand with a consolidated presence in Aveiro and the center of Porto, in which WOW trusted to create moments of sharing in the restaurant Root & Vine, in the middle of the central square.

Leading the Sushimen team, and also responsible for the rising “sushi empire”, is Bernardo Embaixador, founder and owner of Subenshi, who guarantees that it is “with great expectation and enthusiasm that we move forward with the integration of our brand into WOW. Strengthening our signature in the national territory is the mission to which we have dedicated ourselves since the beginning of our activity and which we now share with one of the most attractive cultural and gastronomic projects in the Porto region.”

Subenshi's crossing to the historic area of Gaia is, therefore, synonymous with achievements that elevate the experience of this style of cuisine – both for the restaurant team and for all customers. In addition to the panoramic view over the city of Porto, which will now accompany every meal, WOW becomes an attractive meeting point for those who are new to a sushi restaurant or repeat it again and again, as the available menu remains unchanged. faithful to the offering of restaurants with their own name.
