「関の山」(せきのやま) is used for something that is the best, most, highest, biggest, etc. you can expect or do. That’s the utmost thing you can do.
The expression comes from a large vehicle 「山車」(だし)which is decorated for a festival and carried in a parade in the town of Seki 「関」(せき)in Mie Prefecture 「三重県」(みえけん).
The vehicle was said to be the best at one time.
