Nikkei High

Peruvian food done Japanese style - thanks to the large influx of Japanese emigrants to Latin America in the 1800s - has evolved through the generations to become the popular hybrid Nikkei cuisine. Get a taste of it when the head chefs of award-winning Peruvian restaurant group Osaka Cocina Nikkei come to town for a week-long pop up at NAMI Restaurant & Bar at the Shangri-la Hotel Singapore. Sample a seven course tasting menu that includes Japanese-style ceviche - raw fish marinated in wasabi 'tiger's milk'; a chirashi of king crab tartare, shrimp, avocado and ikura on Peruvian mashed potato instead of rice; and slow braised short rib in a 'lomo saltado' barbecue sauce served with pumpkin puree spiked with spicy yuzukosho. Five special Peruvian-inspired cocktails have also been created by Origin Bar's Adam Bursik to match the food.

The Nikkei Experience menu runs from Jan 21 to 27. Priced at S$188 per person. For reservations, call 6213-4398 or email dining.sls@shangri-la.com
