This Peruvian Nikkei fused ceviche appetizer was served at the Wakatay Restaurant-Peruvian Nikkei Cuisine. It was beautifully presented, and included squid, fish and octopus amongst juices, red onions and corn nuts. The item on the left is giant corn, and items on the right are giant sweet potatoes.

On Saturday, August 11, 2007, I went to Wakatay Restaurant-Peruvian Nikkei Cuisine with my co-workers from the Japanese American National Museum. The fusion of the foods and flavors made for some very unique and delicious entrees. Wakatay Restaurant is located at the Pacific Square, 1630 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. Gardena, CA, 90247.
