"After training in Osaka, Japan, Tsumura returned to Lima to celebrate his Japanese and Peruvian heritage. The result is Maido. While those on the hop can order nigiri at the sushi counter, Tsumura’s masterful 11-course Nikkei Experience is mouth-watering: think toro bluefin tuna, sliced tableside with the precision of a master jamonero, seasoned with yuzu then lightly caramelized. Pairings by sommelier Florencia Rey include Old World, Latin American, and Peruvian vintages; of particular note is her diverse and colorful alcohol-free program. Chocoholics, meanwhile, will adore pastry chef Dalila Sifuente’s artful journey through cacao."
