Top Latin America restaurant that serves Nikkei cuisine is in Singapore – but only for a limited time

One of the top restaurants in Latin America, Osaka, is coming to Singapore in a week-long pop-up held at NAMI Restaurant & Bar .

Osaka is an internationally acclaimed Nikkei restaurant that is recognised as one of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2018. This is its debut appearance in Asia and Singapore.

Chirashi Black Causa

The pop-up will showcase the unique Nikkei cuisine – a marriage between Japanese and Peruvian cultures – which is appreciated for its exuberant flavours and is gaining popularity among gourmands across the globe.

This is what you can look forward to in Nikkei cuisine: the simplicity and precision of Japanese culinary techniques, including exceptional knife skills, and indigenous Peruvian ingredients.
