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.

“We look Japanese but we are totally Peruvian” love that part 🇵🇪🇵🇪❤️❤️ We are all one heart ❤️❤️❤️
As a South American this was the first type of "fusion" food I was ever exposed to, thank you for exploring this cuisine.
I'm Japanese
The Nikkei food seems very delicious
It's not easy to describe how impressed I was with your Nikkei foods cooking.I'm proud of Peruvian-Japanese profession
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 !

Best thing I've seen on Vice/Munchies in months. Covering lesser known food culture that not many people would cover, without the needless "drunk chefs after hours" garbage. Thank you!
Shouts out to the alcoholic chefs on munchies...where your slurred speech is encouraged!
Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining the first 36 times.
Peru is the Most Asian Country Out of The Asia Continent .. Chinese + Japanese Immigrant's coming to Peru for years ago // Food of Both Sides are Best of The World Fusion With Peruvian Flavor's ..Peru Have Afro - Peruvians ( Nigeria ) , Italians , Spanish , Native Cultures , + The Magical Influence of Flavors ..
Chifa and makis UFFF🤤
Very interesting topic, nice video.
RIP Toshiro Konishi :(
Im nikkei living in lima, and i never felt more identify to a video ever, its like every comment is speaking about me
its honestly really interesting to see a japanese person speak spanish, its actually really freaking cool
But they're not Japanese, they're Peruvian
@@abrararifify the bald guy is Japanese, the rest of them are Nikkei.
I’m Chinese who speaks Portuguese because I was born and raised in Brazil. There are Chinese and Japanese every where.
Watching truly japanese looking people speak fluent Spanish is really interesting and makes me want to learn a new language strangely haha
They had to learn it because they fled their poor country, you would do the same if it happened to you
haha that's ridiculously funny!
They are Peruvians!!
This video really opened my eyes to how much of an art form cooking is. It is an expression of cultures but more importantly, it is a testament to the importance to diversity and learning from one another.
Peru got a lot of Japanese & Chinese cuisine influence but with a Peruvian flavors ingredients . I am from Peru living in USA . Was easy to have Peruvian Asian classmate or friends . But all we consider ourself Peruvians. That’s why peruvian food got delicious and unique flavor and colors 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
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.
No, it's all the same. We make fun of Asians, blacks, Indians, etc. we the majority can do that and it's also done in other cultures. It's normal behavior
this is absolutely right and what Ive been telling people for years.
@ 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
Very true 👏👏
I agree!!
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.
El final me encanto parecemos japoneses peto somos 100 % peruanos . En europa conoci à muchos asiaticos y se sorprenden cuando les cuento que en Perú . Muchos japoneses o descendientes de japoneses se casan con peruanas guerreras incas .
Everybody is surprised that these Japanese people speak perfect Spanish, but you need to understand they're as Peruvian as the rest of us.
I'm Peruvian/Japonese 💪😉😎😎💃💃
Tadeo Nakamaru you're either born Peruvian or Japanese, you can't be both, can you be both a woman and man?
BrazitodeWawa she meant she is half dumb ass
BrazitodeWawa and there is a thing called transgender
Good shit my nigga
Chef night out with Peruvian Chefs!!
Excellent video Congratulations !!!!! Nikkei food is part of Peruvian gastronomy ... It was born from Peruvian and Japanese techniques and products, a beautiful fusion called Nikkei food ... 100% Peruvian !!!
And the fusion of Chinese and Peruvian techniques and products, the delicious CHIFA food was born, 100% Peruvian
I hope VICE does a video on Chifa cuisine :)
As Nikkei cuisine, I think it should be called Tusan cuisine, so Chifa would be used only for the restaurant. What do you think?
@@RenzoAkao I think it's unnecessary to put another name to it. Let it be called what it¿s been called for more than a century: chifa.
@@KajiXD Hehehe after 11 months from my comment, I agree xD
In the video, the chef said you do not need to be a professionnel to make Japanese-peruvian fusion food still watching the video it seems very sophisticated food to me.
Now that's interesting. Thanks Munchies
Nice,never knew of this migration stream, thx Munchies xD
Really good video guys! I'm half Japanese and had no idea about this Peru business! Very interesting.
They are many japanese descendents around the world (half, or not) usually knows as nikkeijin if born outside Japan, But the mayority of Japanese Nikkeijin live in SouthAmerica ( Mainly Brazil and Peru ) and goes on the same way of Nikkeijin living and working in Japan.
So, Japanese cuisine has a long history in Brazil and Peru.
brazilian japanese food is also great!
Let's book a trip! All I heard was non stop seafood!
Felicitaciones a todos los qué hicieron posible esa gran fusión, hermano Nikkei.
Arriba Peru Carajo Nuestra Gastronomía Es Única ❤️🇵🇪
Wow. Great clip. Absolutely amazing :)
This bit was facinating... :)
Saludos from PERU!
Oh my... that looks soooo delicious! Could there be any better combination than Peruvian variety with Japanese fresh seafood?!
Peruvian food has also a lot of seafood, that's why the fusion was so good, see ceviche which is seafood was incaic cousin and it is seafood
Looks amazing!
incredible, they bear absolutely japanese names, look japanese, and sound and behave like peruvians
Peru even had a Nikkei President. Alberto Fujimori is his name and he eventually was imprisoned for all kinds of shit.
really? can you tell me a few examples for what kinds of shit? :O

Truer words have never been spoken. Deviants, not unlike cockroaches, always go to where other people's stuff is.
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.
The Japanese bring so much to Peruvian food. As a Peruvian as well, I respect and love seeing their contributions to Peru. It's so beautiful.
"We look Japanese, but we are totally Peruvian." 💯
We are all Peruvian. 🇵🇪❤️
Another well done episode. Not surprised to find Nobu influencing this foods evolution. Blessings ChefMike
I'm sure it was nobu who got influenced by Peruvian and not the other way
Ricardo Goya Would gather both. Technique from Nobu, variation and diversity of ingredients and method from Peruvian cuisine.
Ricardo Goya you are correct.
Grande Perú ¡¡¡
I'm going to peru next year and this wad a great info video
an interesting but random place to have japanese peruvian food is in Gardena California.there is a good but small population that all happen to live in that part of town and with them they bring their yummy food.
Is the place called Rocoto? If so, that place is amazing!!
steph anie yesss haha the best
@@montauk47 Rocoto is an andean peruvian chili. They can have japanese roots but thay have 100% embraced their peruvian heritage. They are peruvian.
finally a great profile about food and the people behind it...and not the other way around
FIRST. I CLAIM THIS VIDEO FOR AMERICA!
The continent?
Im half peruvian and half japanese❤
Pakta run by Albert Adria is unbelievably good
Finally some cool new shit!!!
This year Maido is ranked 5th best restaurant in the world.
Se ve delicioso, quisiera probarlo.

Pretty cool Munchies!!
I'll go check it out sometime this week since I'll be staying really close to the restaurant ... I'll come back and report it to you guys...
Japanese are the best people in the planet. We Peruvians have the most respect for them
10/10 video

#proud peruvian
Such a cool topic! Thanks guys!

Well done informative video with a skilled chef, more of this and less hipsters please.
Toshiro Konish Peruvian the hearth
Native Americans originally came from Asia.
Not the culture.
Yes, but the culture is mix Spanish and native american.
name of the music at the end?
Interesting.
anyone know the ending soundtrack to this video? I'm totally digging it.
Does anybody know what the song towards the end was called?
Anyone know that music track at the end of the video?
Achica precio descansa en paz cantabas de ptm 😢
Fuckin Awesome!
Someday i want to be a good damn Chef! Guide me lord :)
Why the hell is latin america so under rated???
Under rated by someone with little to no education nor culture. Read, travel, learn. Feed your mind.
Because we are Christian and even if we look indigenous we also have white genes on us because of our mixture, so nobody wants to take us in consideration
@Pablo Yong I think you nailed it! /Creo que diste en el clavo/ Bravo!
So hungry now ;_;
godlike people
Its either ill move to the azores, or peru. One or the other.
what was the Spanish name of that fish at 5:23?
pejesapo
thanks!
@@fishingforcompliments9779pejesapo ( frog fish).
Nick Trenchard Its weird to see Japanese speak Spanish.
Munchies should check out poutine
Its just doesnt add up looking at an asian speaking spanish lmao i just cant see that . Not racist just awesome
dont be hung up on worrying about being racist thats the liberal trick to control you
Go to South America, they are all over the place there with China towns in Brazil, Argentina, Peru etc. Asians are all over the world, even in Black countries like Jamaica, Kenya, all over the Middle East etc.
That's what inaccurate media depictions of Latin America will do...
Asians are all over Latin America, with a stronger presence in some countries. My father is from Mexicali, Mexico which had a significant Chinese presence. For me it is pretty normal to see Asians speaking Spanish as I have them in my family :) I also know alot of Brazilians of Japanese descent.
Cool i love this food! Start showing more of this instead of fcking hipsters...
I cant get it.through that the japanese guy is spekaing spanish
Kay Flip Indeed, my penis is kinda small
When Asians interbreed with Native Americans they look Native American.
Maybe because they are all Chinese?
I feel pretty eh about this.
Fujimori blend.
There speeking spanish not japanese
Because the chef is Peruvian, their parents are Japanese.
El cebiche no tiene nada que ver con japon no seas mentiroso
i don t agree with the last statement " we look japanese but we re peruvian" that means they take all the advantage of japanese receipts maker their money and business with it and then they say they re peruvian!
Mike DC You say that like its a bad thing .... it goes both ways but in the overall scheme of propagating Peruvian cuisine is all good.
Because they look asiatic but their culture and their country is Peru, they are nikkei.
