"Impeccable service and exceptional food. The ceviche, nigiri, soft crab salad, and special tuna hand rolls are to die for. The restaurant is a bit small with bar seating where you can watch the chefs plate some of the dishes, along with a few tables around. Nice vibes though it can get quite loud. Make sure to book in advance it’s well worth it."

Part luxury dining and part theatrical food experience, watch the chefs prepare their Japanese-Peruvian dishes in a stylish setting surrounded by South American art and imagery. From appetizers – try the home-made black tortilla with confit of duck – to sushi, sashimi and flame-grilled fish and beef, this is dining with a difference. Back in 1899 the Japanese government sent a batch of its young farmers to Peru to work in the sugar plantations there and bring home new skills.
The Best Places To Eat In Jeddah
Kuuru has landed in Riyadh and Jeddah to show the kingdom everything Peruvian cuisine can be. In its richly decorated Jeddah outpost, a talented kitchen team makes good use of a robata grill, while applying precise Japanese techniques to South American flavours to create dishes you won’t find elsewhere in the city. Start with a tuna toast of Peruvian corn tortilla, bluefin akami, avo and wasabi sauce, and go from there.
