📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A defining dish of "Nikkei" cuisine, built by Japanese immigrants who settled in Peru in the early 20th century. It emerged where Peru's traditional ceviche (cubed, marinated fish) met Japan's sashimi culture (thin, precise slicing). The cut is Japanese; the seasoning is Peruvian — a dish with dual citizenship.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Served as a starter, from home tables to upscale restaurants in Lima.
