"Nikkei food is the Peruvian-Japanese cultural blend that has emerged from more than 100 years of Japanese immigration into Peru." Full review

Sit up at the bar where you can watch the brigade at work, or at one of the modest tables, and choose from either a relatively simple Japanese menu, with expertly tuned nigiri made with Peru’s first quality fish, or the full 15-course Nikkei version.

"Sit at the fish counter for a close-up of the culinary action, and choose the 15-step tasting menu. Delights include Nitsuke beef short rib cooked for 50 hours and guinea-pig nigiri." Full review
