Join us for an evening of Nikkei Japanese meets Peruvian cuisine at Social restaurant, founded by Mexico-born Dulce and Omar Lugo.
Nikkei cuisine is a fusion of Japanese cooking techniques and Peruvian ingredients, developed by Japanese immigrants in Peru starting in the late 19th century. It merges Japanese precision — such as sushi and sashimi — with bold Peruvian flavors, like aji amarillo, lime and fresh seafood to create a distinct, clean flavor-packed style of dining.
