Maz

Maz expresses the diverse flavours of Peru through the terroir of Japan. It’s led by chef Santiago Fernandez, formerly head chef at Central, Peru, one of the world’s leading restaurants. Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Central chef-owner Virgilio Martinez, who specialises in uncovering indigenous ingredients from all over Peru, Fernandez learned how to cook using a traditional huatia oven while staying in an Andean village. Living in Japan since 2022, he has immersed himself in the culture and environment of Japan, and now makes huatia dishes with Japanese seasonal produce, such as the first shoots of mountain vegetables. Diners can find out more about Peruvian produce at a table filled with Peruvian ingredients just inside the entrance door.
