Sushi delivered in Praia da Pipa six nights a week from 6pm, from a kitchen on Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos. Message them to ask how long it takes.
On Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos at 1181, in Praia da Pipa, the first house on the right, there's a sushi kitchen that comes to life in the evening: Ichigo-Ichie opens at 18:00, and the usual way to reach it is not to move at all, because the sushi is delivered through its own ordering page and through iFood. Six nights a week, closed on Wednesdays.

There are three routes, and it's worth picking deliberately. The first is WhatsApp, on the restaurant's own number: that's the one for asking before you order. The second is its own ordering page, published under its own name. The third is iFood, where it is listed under Japanese and currently operating.
What defines this place isn't that it delivers: it's how many kinds of handover it declares. There's delivery, there's contactless delivery — the order is left at the door, with nobody to meet — and there's the drive-through, the rarest attribute in the whole village: you pull up, collect, and carry on. On the night you're coming back from Tibau do Sul or another beach with the car full of sand and boards, the drive-through is the difference between dinner and giving in to cooking. There's also takeaway on foot, the same collection without the car.
The dining room exists, and the place declares onsite services: you can sit down and eat there instead of ordering. The meals it declares are dinner and dessert — no lunch, which fits an opening at six.
The place declares three things about what comes out of its kitchen, and each solves a different table. First: vegan and vegetarian options. In a Japanese kitchen that changes the plan for a whole group, because the table where somebody doesn't eat fish stops being a logistics problem. Second: small plates, the natural shape of sushi and the reason an order for two is built by asking for several things rather than one large dish. Third: fast food, which in a delivery kitchen describes the pace — ordered, out, arriving hot — rather than a menu category.
Because the kitchen starts at 18:00, the whole service is an evening one. For delivery that has a practical consequence: the useful window is the five hours between six and eleven, and the end of that window is when a sushi kitchen gets its heaviest run of orders. Asking about timing before you order is the move that saves the wait.
The place describes itself in two words: casual and quiet. For a kitchen that works mostly on deliveries, those two words are the missing information: they say the room isn't a collection counter with two stools, but a table where you can sit and have dinner without noise. Casual means you walk in with the clothes of a beach day; quiet, on an avenue the whole village walks down, is the fact that decides whether you can talk.
It's the exact description of a neighbourhood Japanese place: the plate comes out fast and the table stays as long as it likes. With dinner starting at six, it's also the easiest place in Pipa to eat early.
It is closed on Wednesdays. That is the single most useful fact on this page, because it's the one that ruins an evening: no other day of the week is closed. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday it runs from 18:00 to 23:00.
Six in the evening as an opening time defines the place: there is no lunch service. If the plan is sushi in the middle of the day, this isn't it; if the plan is dinner, or an order sent to where you're staying after a day at the beach, the hours fit completely.
Those same hours explain a confusion that keeps repeating: look the place up before 18:00 and you'll see "closed". It isn't. The kitchen opens at six and works until eleven, six nights a week. If you checked at four in the afternoon and wrote it off, look again after opening time.
Opening on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is the other half of the value. That's exactly the stretch when a good share of the village's kitchens take their days off, and the stretch when a pousada without dinner sorted is glad of something arriving at the door.
And 23:00 means 23:00: to order with room to spare, send it in before half past ten.
Avenida Baía dos Golfinhos 1181, Casa 1, in Praia da Pipa. The avenue is the spine of the village centre, and the restaurant gives its own landmark for finding the door: it's the first house on the right, next to the laboratory.
That address does two different jobs. For anyone eating in, it's a walk from central Praia da Pipa along the same avenue. For anyone ordering in, it's the point the delivery leaves from, which is why it pays to say where you're staying when you place the order.
If you're driving there are two facts that complete each other. First, there is free on-street parking, so arriving by car from another beach or from a guesthouse up on the cliffs doesn't mean paying for a garage or circling for a space. Second, there's the drive-through, which solves the opposite version of the same problem — not getting out at all. Between the two, the car stops being an obstacle to eating sushi in Pipa.
Arriving in Pipa from Natal or the airport, check the transfer options; inside the village, the avenue is a walk.
The place lists itself as good for children, and the hours are what make that usable: with the kitchen opening at 18:00, a table with children eats at half past six and is back at the guesthouse early, instead of waiting until nine. The small plates are the other half of the favour, because you can order a little at a time and try things without committing to a whole dish.
And for the night when going out with children isn't an option, there are the three handovers: delivery to the door, contactless delivery and the drive-through. Dinner arrives, or gets collected, without anyone leaving the car.
For the night when nobody wants to go out: there's sushi that arrives at the door, through an ordering page of its own, through iFood, and contactless if you want it.
For anyone landing in Pipa on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and looking for an open kitchen: Ichigo-Ichie works all three.
For the vegetarian or vegan at the table, usually the person left out by a Japanese menu: here both options are declared by the restaurant itself.
And for a table that would rather sit down and eat early, since service starts at six in the evening and the room is described as quiet.
No. Wednesday is its one closing day. The rest of the week it opens from 18:00 to 23:00.
It is open and operating. If you look it up before 18:00 you'll see "closed": those are the hours of a dinner-only kitchen, not a permanent closure.
