Coco Tomita, Mayra Flores & Javier Miyasato
Nikkei Cuisine
One of the best examples of fusion in Peruvian gastronomy. This cuisine began to take shape from the moment the first Japanese immigrants arrived in Peru.
Coco Tomita, Mayra Flores & Javier Miyasato
Cofounders of Shizen Barra Nikkei and Founder of Sutorito Maketto (Lima, Perú)
Nikkei Cuisine
Nikkei is the term used for all Japanese emigrants and their descendants. In Peru, the Nikkei community is a community with a lot of history and a strong cultural influence.
In recent years we have seen Nikkei cuisine become a trend in Peruvian cuisine around the world. This combination of Peruvian and Japanese flavors is irresistible to any palate.
Tiraditos, makis acevichados, gunkan and ceviches nikkei, are all delicious dishes that exist thanks to this fusion of cultures.
This course is presented by 3 talented chefs; each one will teach us to apply Japanese techniques to Peruvian ingredients, and create dishes that will surprise everyone.

Interesting Peruvian recipes
Well... I enjoyed this course, my favorite module was the first one with Coco Tomita, Mayra Flores colorful recipes, my favorite dish for her module was the bonito tiradito, outstanding presentation and finally but not less important Javier Miyasato with his homemade recipes, I loved his scallops in butter (I'd have liked to see those scallops seared to get that deep brown color)
