Peruvian-Japanese cuisine was created by migrants who left Japan for South America in 1899 and were known as the Nikkei. Two Nikkei descendants are right here in Canberra running Inka kitchen and serving up dishes such as Hokkaido scallops with Peruvian mint and an unmissable Ceviche ‘Clasico’ with kingfish, tiger’s milk, chilli and roasted Peruvian corn. The food’s so good the Peruvian Embassy team drop in regularly for a taste of home.

Inka is the new kid on the block, having only opened its doors at the end of March this year. Inka's menu is Nikkei cuisine, the unique blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.
