Savor traditional Japanese cuisine at Mizu in Charlotte
First up: This SouthPark restaurant Mizu. "Considered the oldest form of Japanese cooking, "Robata" began centuries ago by fishermen who prepared seafood by laying skewers over a wood grill” says Vandertoll. The practice evolved to charcoal — where the high heat locks in the juice...providing food with incredible flavor and texture. Led by Executive Chef Luis Vargas-Diaz, guests can savor meat, seafood, and seasonal vegetables while witnessing the sparks and bustle of live-fire cooking. Mizu provides an elaborate selection of Maki sushi rolls + a list of delicious cocktails. There are also plenty of options for vegetarian guests. Vandertoll continues “ after sampling, this editor highly recommends the delicious Yaki-Tori chicken skewers.” Come joint he fun and fine dining at Mizu.
