San Juan | The Surprise of Peruvian-Japanese Fusion Cuisine

📍Sur Barra Nikkei 💫Discovered this little eatery tucked away behind a green plant wall. In the open kitchen, the chef was using a blowtorch to sear salmon belly, filling the air with the refreshing scent of shiso. 📷We took the only empty table on the patio, and the server handed us a menu still marked with freshly smudged lemon butter sauce fingerprints. 🍝The signature roasted duck truly lived up to its reputation—the skin was as crispy as seaweed, while the meat was so tender it melted on the tongue. 🥙The secret sauce held a citrusy sweetness, and the server mentioned it was the result of fermenting local limes for three months. The scallop sashimi was sliced as thin as cicada wings, adorned with gold leaf that shimmered in the candlelight—though the portion was so small it left us wanting more. ✅The most stunning part was the hidden ordering trick: using the phrase "I want the Tokyo-Peru mix" gets you shrimp tempura coated in purple sweet potato powder, #SanJuanFusionCuisine #PeruvianJapanese #HiddenMenu #SurBarraNikkei
