This Restaurant in South America is a Must-Try!

Osaka Nikkei Osaka is truly a hidden gem I’ve discovered—NOT A SINGLE DISH MISSED THE MARK! While some dishes have slight twists in preparation, every bite is a flavor explosion. 🌟 Founded in Lima in 2002, this spot fuses Japanese and Peruvian vibes (Nikkei cuisine). It’s since expanded to Buenos Aires (2005), Chile (2008), and North America. 🌍 🍴 ORDER THESE IMMEDIATELY Rocoto Usuzukuri 🐟 White fish, grilled octopus, smoked rocoto pepper, and black quinoa. The white fish is mild, but the vibrant red sauce + red pepper make it the perfect appetizer. 🔥 Pro tip: This sauce is Osaka’s signature—you’ll find it in many dishes! Frutos do Mar ao Fogo (Brazil)/Mariscos al Fuego (Chile) 🦪 Charcoal-grilled seafood with a tangy lime broth. Squeeze extra lemon for a zesty kick—the soup is addictively rich. 🍋 Wagyu Niku Kabayaki 🥩 Freshly grilled A5 wagyu served on a 500°C natural stone (you cook it yourself!). Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. 🔥✨ Gyu Meshi (Chile) 🍚 Wagyu rice bowl—we devoured it even when stuffed! Crispy quinoa adds the perfect crunch. Sadly, not available in São Paulo… 😢 🌟 Also Outstanding Pisco Ribs 🍖 Tender, sticky-sweet ribs with a boozy pisco glaze. Foie Scallops / Niku Foie / Yellow Tail Sushi 🍣 Luxe combos: seared foie gras + scallops, wagyu + foie, or melt-in-your-mouth yellowtail. 🌿 Ambiance & Tips Sleek, versatile vibe—great for business dinners, dates, or solo sips. 🥂 São Paulo: Walk right in! Lima/Santiago: Book ahead—they’re always busy. 📅 South America crew: RUN (or roll in a wheelchair, lol) 👩‍🦽→👩‍🦽→👩‍🦽 #FoodFirst #HiddenGems #RepeatVisits #SãoPauloRestaurants #SantiagoEats #Lima #SouthAmericanCuisine #Brazil #2024FaveRestaurants #Chile #PeruvianFood #GlobalFoodies #MichelinStar
