Sapporo

What to order

Sapporo is Nikkei fusion: Peruvian-Japanese cooking at shared teppanyaki tables with a live chef show, located at the adults-only Barceló Maya Riviera. Reserve immediately at check-in — it rivals Kyoto for demand. The format combines teppanyaki showmanship with distinctly Peruvian-influenced preparations you won't find at any other specialty restaurant on the complex.

• Arroz chaufa
  Peruvian fried rice with shrimp and lobster — the dish that makes Sapporo distinct from any other teppanyaki on property; don't skip it.
• Ribeye teppanyaki
  The protein centerpiece — cooked tableside on the grill; medium gives the best result from the teppanyaki preparation.
• Sushi selections
  Available as starters; quality is solid for an all-inclusive setting, with the Nikkei influence giving them a Peruvian-Japanese twist.
• Edamame
  Simple opener to start while the grill heats up; a good palate-setter before the richer teppanyaki courses.
• Fried ice cream
  The classic teppanyaki finish — a theatrical send-off that the table will remember.

Set teppanyaki format; some items may vary by evening.
