Where To Eat When You’re Visiting Tokyo - Tokyo - The Infatuation
"If you’re going to do one fancy fine dining meal, make it Maz. It’s the sister restaurant of Central, the Peruvian fine-dining spot in Lima that many consider the best restaurant in the world. While we can’t speak of Central's quality firsthand, Maz picks you up and drops you into Peru’s nine altitudes—all without leaving Tokyo. Using 80% locally sourced Japanese ingredients, Maz channels the Peruvian sea using fuzzy Hokkaido crabs and the Andean mountains with tender beef cheeks. The waiter even brings out a small deck of colored washi papers, each with a different hue that corresponds with the course and altitude it represents. The unique experience feels equal parts theater and dinner in all the right ways, making it one of the most memorable meals we’ve had in Tokyo." - kiera wright ruiz
