It was his passion for Peruvian cuisine with Japanese techniques and inputs, the great Nikkei cuisine that led Mitsuharu “Micha” Tsumura to create Maido.
Life is movement. Nothing is static or absolute. Nobody is. We are in constant flux, as are the Earth, the tides, the bacteria, the light, the blood of our bodies, the color and the seed. Cuisines, like family trees, are constantly redefined, their identities enriched in an intense interculturality that is the basis of the history of all civilization, since men exchanged the first sounds, products, ideas, customs. Blood conspires in the stove. The people sing at the stove. In the stove, individual and collective stories merge. In the stove life is created, the elements come together. In the stove, dialogue is promoted, elements are confronted, opposites attract. This is how our cuisine was born, from a complex history known as Peru and another of equal proportion, distant and foreign, called Japan that came together to live harmoniously and create a third reality.
