I had churasco at Tucano's, a Brazilian restaurant in Shibuya last weekend. I was introduced to this style of food by a second generation Japanese-Brazilian friend, there is a large Japanese community in South America. There are several churasco restaurants in tokyo.The ones I have been to generally have an all-you-can-eat plan which includes a salad bar, feijoda (black bean and meat stew), french fries and rice. The grilled steak, chicken (hearts and wings), pork sausages, and grilled pineapple are served on skewers like the one below and the server cuts off the amount that the customer wants to eat. Thiis restaurant had samba dancing and live music as well. Although, I do have to admit that my favorite is Barbacoa.

There is a small chain of churascos that has set up a restaurant near me. Sweet JELLYBEANS, I love that food. It's a bit expensive, so I've only been there once for a special occasion, but considering it was all-you-can-eat of some extremely fine food, I was a happy camper. The trick is to completely avoid the salad bar, which has so many yummy foods that one could make a meal out of that alone, thus filling up before the meat ever came around to the table.
