Aji is Macau’s only Peruvian Nikkei restaurant, and the setting is gorgeously modern. At the helm is Peru’s celebrity chef Mitsuharu Tsumura of Lima’s Maido, a Peruvian Nikkei eatery that ranked 10th in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019.

There’s a tasting menu and à la carte hot and cold appetisers, Peruvian Nikkei nigiri such as scallops with sea urchin emulsion, and tobiko and duck foie gras torched with eel sauce. Mains feature parihuela, a broth made with the catch of the day, clams, sea grapes and casaba; and carapulcra, crispy suckling pig with peanut sauce and sweet potato noodle. Dessert includes tofu cheesecake. The cocktails – like Aji sour with spicy green chilli – are Peruvian-inspired.
