    Seeking land ownership, Japanese farmers began emigrating to Peru in 1899 when the two countries established diplomatic ties. With the intent of recreating Japanese dishes using local ingredients, Nikkei (Japanese descendants abroad) informally created Nikkei cuisine, a fusion popularized worldwide by Nobu Matsuhisa's empire. MUNCHIES flew to the Land of the Incas to interview three very different local and proud Nikkei chefs: Mitsuharu Tsumura (of Maido, a top 15 restaurant in all of Latin America), Toshiro Konishi (of Toshiro's, a favorite amongst Lima's Elite) and Toshi Matsufuji (of Al Toke Pez, a delicious hole-in-the-wall in one of Lima's working-class neighborhoods). Our skilled chefs took time from preparing entrées like ceviche with ponzu, dashi, and tempura seaweed to explain why the flavors of the far-flung nations pair so well.

    I always thought that my mom was cooking Japanese food when I was a kid, now that I live in Japan, I know that even it looks the same it taste different, My grandparents were Japanese who immigrated to Peru. So the name is correct is peruvian nikkei food. Both are really delicious !

  • @Monki_29

    The reason why several inmigrants feel more peruvian than their country of origin is because they don't feel uninvited in their new country. That's what happens with Italian-americans, chinese-americans, even afro-americans in the US, who tend to make little niches and different social groups of the receptor country.
    In Peru it isn't like that, Africans, Whites, autoctonous and Asians are all the same if you have a peruvian accent. We are all peruvian.

      @ you and scooby are both right and wrong
      Yes there is a LOT of racism in Peru and it is more in your face than in America. Although in American it can become more lethal because you can lose your life for being of a certain race.
      The difference is that in Peru the white minority is very small so the feeling of "underpriviledge" is not so overwhelming like it is in the States. "Americans" do not have a strong culture the way peruvians do so it does not motivate immigrants to adopt it. While Peruvian culture is very strong and welcoming in many different ways other than the fully acceptance of other ethnic groups

    The greatness of a nation is in the diversity of its people and Peruvian food would be inexistent if not for the influences that the Spaniards, Africans, Chinese, Italians, and Japanese have had on Peruvian Cuisine, adding to the richness of the many native groups that have existed in Peru, from the Mochicas, Huancas to the Incas and many more. Peru is not Peru without any of this different ethnic groups. DIOS BENDIGA A MI LINDO PERU, A TRUE MELTING POT.

      Pretty normal, there are Asians all over the world. Look at Chinese Jamaican, Tessanne Chin (winner of the voice) - she sounds completely Jamaican and her family has been there for generations. She is as Jamaican as any one else in the country and you can see how much they embrace her as their own by just searching videos of her on youtube. There are even Asians that have been in Kenya for centuries. They are in literally every continent / sub continent where people live. There are China towns all over Brazil and Argentina. Asians assimilate pretty well because they are generally respectful, hard working, educated, easy to get along with and make good food so pretty much everyone likes them.

      Karlita daz It's not a choice they consciously make, they have no choice. If you're socialized in a country, that is what you are. Skin color or national origin has nothing to do with what forms your ego identity - it's the environment you were raised in.
