Welcome! The elegant restaurant led by chef Mitsuharu ‘Micha’ Tsumura takes its name from a Japanese phrase used to greet people: maido. It’s the first thing diners will hear from Tsumura’s team when stepping into the space.
Japan meets Peru: The chef-restaurateur’s ancestors landed in Peru from Japan in 1889 and Tsumura was born in Lima. He then completed a culinary arts programme in the US and made the trip to Osaka to specialise in Japanese cuisine. In 2009, he opened Maido in Lima, where he combines Japanese techniques and Peruvian ingredients into Nikkei cuisine. Some 15 years later, the menu may have diversified, but the philosophy remains the same: serving the best local ingredients changing every season.
