Nikkei Cuisine
Experience a history filled cuisine with a culinary language of discipline, precision, and bold flavors. The integration of Peruvian ingredients and Japanese culinary techniques creates food that is simultaneously precise and exciting with dishes that are bright, clean, spicy, acidic, smoky, and umami-rich. At Esquina No. 525, our seafood is handled with the restraint and sharpness of sashimi while seasoned with lime, ají, herbs, and heat with a menu that incorporates raw, chilled, grilled, fried, sauced, and shared dishes.
Nikkei cuisine began in the late 1800s when Japanese immigrants arrived in Peru, where they began cooking with Peruvian ingredients while using their familiar Japanese culinary techniques.
