Aji is the first and only Peruvian Nikkei restaurant in Macau, and the setting is gorgeously modern. The food is deliciously innovative and does not disappoint. At the helm is Peru’s celebrity chef Mitsuharu Tsumura, of Lima’s Maido fame, a Peruvian Nikkei eatery that ranked 10th in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019.

We were impressed by the Wagyu sushi, topped with a quail egg and injected with ponzu, a citrus-based Japanese sauce, while the o-toro sushi was made with rocoto chilli. The spice and sauce elevated the flavour of the sushi, which was delectable. The cocktail menu is Peruvian-inspired, with drinks such as Aji sour with spicy green chilli.
