Peruvian Restaurants in Tokyo
The best locations to enjoy Peruvian cuisine in the capital
By Metropolis
“Food is culture, and we need to listen to it.” The words of celebrity chef Robert Irvine seem particularly relevant when we think of Peruvian cuisine and its history. Colonization, slavery and immigration influenced the country’s diverse culinary landscape that we know today: creative blends of indigenous Inca recipes and native ingredients with European, African, Chinese and Japanese dishes, cooking methods and flavors.
Food cultures like nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian cuisine) or chifa (Chinese-Peruvian cuisine), then, are more than just “fusion.” This label suggests these dishes are mere trends, something a stylish new restaurant brings to a city’s most fashionable foodies. The term risks undermining the historical, cultural, economical and political significance that these dishes were born from, and the lives, cultures and identities of the immigrant communities who developed them.
Whizz back across the Pacific to Japan, and there’s a whole landscape of Peruvian restaurants that have made their home in Tokyo. And with the dishes they’re cooking, these establishments are not only bringing the dishes of Peru to the capital, but they’re also sharing the story of this important cultural past.
In terms of flavor, Peruvian cuisine is a craft of juxtaposition. Hot and cold, acidic and starchy, robust and delicate. Take ceviche, for example, a traditional Peruvian dish that celebrates the mild sweetness of raw fish by pairing it with tangy, spiced lime juice. Or lomo saltado, sirloin strips flavored with a Chinese-inspired soy sauce and vinegar marinade, served with a side of French fries.
Whether you’re totally new to the cuisine or you grew up with the joys of ceviche, causa (potato casserole) and aji de gallina (creamy chicken stew), here’s a list of Peruvian restaurants in Tokyo where you can savor all the culinary classics of this South American country.
