For a dish covered in so many chillies you can barely see what lies beneath them, head to Piao Xiang in Azabujuban. This upscale establishment specialises in traditional dishes from China's Sichuan province, which is famous for serving spicy dishes to counteract the cold climate.
Complex blends of Sichuan peppercorns, black pepper and bean chilli paste offer a kaleidoscope of flavours and sensations. Signature lunch favourites include mapo tofu and soupless dan dan noodles, while dinner offers a banquet of dishes like soy sauce beef, bright red Sichuan hot pot and of course, chicken in mouthwatering Sichuan chili oil.
