Nikkei cuisine, an exciting blend of Japanese and Peruvian influences, is the focus at Azabu. Amid a dramatic interior enlivened by striking images of Tokyo, standout dishes include the tuna sashimi tostada, Japanese tacos with wasabi avocado, and king prawns with a jalapeño and ponzu dressing. Arrive early and enjoy a basil- and chilli-infused cachaca cocktail at Azabu's Roji bar.
