The Secret to a Perfect Dinner

Dinner can become an incredible experience when you choose a great sitting area in your favorite restaurant.
Sometimes you lay back at home and think of what makes things the way they are: Those precious seconds you spends with a dear friend, or those moments that can take your breath away just by how amazing they make you feel. For some people, perfection is achieved through the events that surround a situation, and they take the love for small things during the journey to achieve their goals like the most amazing experiences of their lives. Others like me, take a particular enjoyment in the process of sharing a meal: I feel the happiest when I gather around a table the people I love the most during a dinner that they won’t forget. It’s an experience that makes us feel closer together, and that manages to transport us into a relaxed place where everything else is forgotten but the good company we’re having. Because I know how amazing that is, I want to share with you the things that I consider important for dinner settings, and that have the potential to transform a simple nourishment routine into something amazing:

Soft lighting and music: Nothing tarnishes more the experience of eating and sharing than lights that look straight out of an stadium. No one wants lights to blind guests during their dinner, after all we do appreciate the coziness of a smartly dimmed ambience, and most restaurants take the time to approach this situation in the right way: they have soft lights emerging from strategically placed lamps, that make the place look not only unique, but also amazingly intimate. This in turn makes people feel more comfortable with the things they are doing and encourage them to converse and share in soft tones, when accompanied by the soft and enjoyable music that people love.

Perfectly combined drinks: Food needs to be accompanied by the right elements to highlight its flavors without being too much. Cocktails, juices, soft infusions, wines and even beer can work as the accompanying beverages to any meal, as long as they interact with the flavors of the dish in a beneficial way. Some of those elements pair better with certain types of meals, and most of the time, restaurants have someone who can help you pick the right beverage for your choice of meal.

The right scenery: What’s more lovely than turning your head and seeing something that captures your attention and makes you marvel? To me, as important as the meal itself is the place where you eat it. It needs to present a relaxing atmosphere, where all the members of the table can interact comfortably without having to worry about bumping other people, and with the combination of furniture that brings out the style and vibe of the food that they are going to taste. Some locals even offer panoramic views that makes you feel like you are on top of the world itself, or in the middle of another time and place altogether.

Delicious food: All of these things together can surely make you feel amazing in a place during dinner, but food needs to be the star. Think of dishes that make you ‘hmm’ in appreciation, that make you lay back in your chair with you eyes closed trying to savour every single ingredient that you feel exploding in your mouth. Those are the places that you need to visit, the ones that offer fresh ingredients crafted together by the expert hands of chefs who are the best at what they do and are not afraid of innovating.

These are the things that make me love Tira.D.Toss Restaurant. They offer all these things in a way that combines two different cultures in a modern and innovative way, that transports you to the place where everything happening outside their walls is simply forgotten. Great food paired with the perfect environment can make a simple get together with friends the most unforgettable experience ever!
Turn that small gathering into a memorable experience.

Cultural Clash: How to Merge Peru and Japan into an Amazing Culinary Experience

Mixing two cultures in the kitchen creates amazing results. 
Cultures merge all the time whether by immigration, mere contact or through the knowledge people acquire from different ways such the as internet. This allows people like you and me to find different and unique points of view, giving our lives a more global approach on every element that surrounds us. It can also transform the way we see certain things, and without a doubt cuisine is one of the most influenced fields by the cultural clash  that we experience every day. These things offer chefs and amateurs a chance to incorporate new techniques, ingredients and ideas imported from other cultures, helping them find a new way to satisfy the hunger for innovation that people  look for when they visit new places. This is the notion that drives restaurants like Tira.D.Toss into their particular field of word: culinary cultural clash.

Fusion food has a bad fame within kitchens as it can lead to horrible results, but when people  bring together elements from different cultures that can highlight each other, combining them in a menu that not only makes sense, but that it’s also a sort of flavor-travel across the globe on your tonsils, then you know that you’ve found the right place! At Tira.D.Toss they incorporate the taste of both countries with its traditions to elevate all the elements to their maximum. This culinary experience has different levels and it increases as customers spend time inside the restaurant; from excellent attention to fresh dishes served with care and dedication, showcasing all the depth of the flavors of both cuisines, and it’s all accompanied by drinks that evoke and complement the freshness of each dish. And this goes beyond the kitchen, as they work in a local with astonishing views and with an outer worldly experience that mimics the relaxing paths that you could find on any Japanese garden. Soft music and subtle details make the experience incredibly unique, always offering the best merge of both countries through their food.

What are the elements that compose and incredible culinary experience for you, aside from great food? Is one of those elements key in the love that you feel for certain restaurants?

What Makes a Dish Amazingly Great

Food needs to be prepared with love and dedication for it to taste delicious.

I am pretty sure that you’ve tasted an amazing dish at some point of your life. If you have, at this point you might be recalling the texture and the flavor that erupted in your tonsils as soon as the first spoonful or bite got in touch with your mouth. To me, it was a beyond-this-world experience: it was the combination of ingredients prepared to perfection that made me fall in love with a particular plate, it was incredibly tasty and full of what I could call ‘normal meals’. I can remember every little detail about it like it was just yesterday. That’s what makes people like me fall in love with food, and why I love to talk about it. It generates a strong response beyond what we normally see, and those dishes are deemed special because they are! But I’m sure you are wondering why I’m telling you this, and it’s because I want to let you know what really makes a dish amazingly great!

Dedication and focus: The chefs behind these dishes are people that devote their time to find out the best combinations for the variety of ingredients they’ve got in store. This means that sometimes they need to dedicate time to cook different variations and through trial and error find the perfect idea for a plate. They concentrate in savoring and changing the recipe so it highlights the ingredients they want.

Love for the craft: Chefs are known for something else than cooking, and that’s their personality. They are passionate and stubborn people, that push through and translate an idea into a flavor. Professing the love they feel for crafting ingredients into dishes is what gives plates that extra that you look for in a great meal.

Fresh ingredients: Like an artist, chefs make sure that they have all the right implements for their craft, like knives and fresh ingredients. This are the ultimate weapon for their job, and what makes the difference from a ‘normal’ into an ‘amazing’ plate presented to their patrons. This is especially important when it comes to sea products and salads, as freshness is its main characteristic.

These are just a few of the things that make a regular dish into something amazingly great, and that will stick in your memory like an unforgettable experience. To me, the otherworldly experience came from a place full of culture, called Tira.D.Toss. They are the perfect mix between peruvian and japanese cuisine and they make sure that this gets translated into the palates of everyone who try their meals. Visit them and experience it firsthand!

When cooks have the best ingredients, they create perfect meals.

Tira.D.Toss: Peruvian-Japanese Cuisine

The idea was to bring this unique combination to the palates of Miami's select public.

Mixing two different cultures in a perfect dish seems like something impossible to do, and it’s one of the reasons why fusion cuisine is frowned upon by many. But certain places take the best ingredients of both cultures and craft a unique recipe that will make patrons smile and love what they put in their mouths. That delicate balance between the various techniques in cuisine is what makes people love a restaurant, and it’s the reason why Tira.D.Toss is famous: they managed to merge Peru and Japan in a single menu with great care to detail and in a flavorful way!

This is not something that easy to do: both countries have a strong cultural heritage to be represented in their dishes. Peru has an ancient tradition of using earthy ingredients as a base for their dishes, incorporating fresh products from all around the animal kingdom to produce something filling, and sometimes spicy with the addition of pepper into the mixtures. Japan also has an incredible cuisine, which combines staples like rice with flavorful ingredients that are freshly prepared and served in several small courses. In Japanese cuisine, seafood is commonly used as the main ingredient instead of red meat, which is usually seasoned with soy sauce, vinegar or salt, while also paired with seaweed.

Both of these cuisines have been incorporated into Tira.D.Toss’ menu to deliver the modernity and classic touch of Japanese culture with the warmth and passion that characterizes the Peruvian heritage. So, what are you waiting to try the dishes they have to offer? Take a bite and discover how amazing fusion food can be when it’s done by passionate professionals! Visit them and marvel at their beautiful location, excellent service, and delicious combinations.

Tradition and style combine with great service to create the perfect setting for your meals.
