Modern Japanese cooking with Korean influence
Modern Japanese cooking with Korean influences defines Maza, while Japanese remains the primary cuisine. Michelin gave the restaurant Plate recognition in 2024, 2025, and 2026, a useful signal for diners weighing a planned lunch or dinner.
Karasumi, ussuzukuri, and a sake focus
Karasumi, ussuzukuri, wagyu tataki, shake butter, sushi, sashimi, and temaki frame the menu. Sake and local sourcing give the meal a tighter direction than a broad Japanese catchall.
Itaim Bibi counter with a quieter pace
Itaim Bibi at R. Manuel Guedes, 243 anchors the São Paulo location. A chef’s counter, quiet room, smart casual dress, and leisurely pacing suit a conversation-led meal.
