Maido – BIENVENIDO A NUESTRO MUNDO

La vida es movimiento. Nada es estático ni absoluto. Nadie lo es. Estamos en flujo constante, como lo están la Tierra, las mareas, las bacterias, la luz, la sangre de nuestros cuerpos, el color y la semilla. Las cocinas, como los árboles genealógicos, se ven constantemente redefinidas, enriquecidas sus identidades en una intensa interculturalidad que es la base de la historia de toda civilización, desde que los hombres intercambiaron los primeros sonidos, productos, ideas, costumbres. Cocina fusión no es sino cocina, así de elocuente es la palabra que encierra el acto. En el fogón se conjuran las sangres. En el fogón cantan los pueblos. En el fogón se funden las historias individuales y colectivas. En el fogón se gesta la vida, se cohesionan los elementos. En el fogón se promueve el diálogo, se confrontan los elementos, se atraen los opuestos. Así nació la cocina Nikkei, de una compleja historia conocida como Perú y de otra de igual proporción, lejana y ajena, llamada Japón que se juntaron para vivir armoniosamente y crear una tercera realidad: La Cocina Nikkei
