The Briefing

  • Nobu Matsuhisa made his first-ever New York City Wine & Food Festival appearance on Thursday, October 15, headlining a sold-out Peruvian tasting event at Storied NYC alongside six NYC-based Peruvian chefs.
  • The event — "A Culinary Journey Through Peru presented by Crystal" — spotlighted the Nikkei culinary tradition Matsuhisa developed during three formative years cooking in Lima, the same experience that seeded his global restaurant empire of more than 50 locations.
