At Esquina No. 525, our seafood is handled with the restraint and sharpness of sashimi, then seasoned with lime, ají, herbs, and heat, across a menu of raw, chilled, grilled, fried, sauced, and shared dishes.

The ingredients

Lime, ají, herbs, and heat. Ají amarillo, rocoto, choclo, cancha, huacatay, lúcuma, purple corn — color, acid, and boldness carried straight from the Peruvian coast.

The techniques

Discipline and restraint: sashimi-sharp knife work, charcoal, dashi, miso, rice, and fermentation. Precision is what keeps a bold flavor honest.

Nikkei cuisine began when Japanese immigrants arrived in Peru and started cooking with Peruvian ingredients using familiar Japanese techniques.
