The new menu at Ají restaurant, known for its 'nikkei' proposal, delves into the fusion of flavors. The establishment's chef has incorporated Mediterranean ingredients to create a culinary bridge between Peru, Japan, and Catalonia. Among the novelties, the use of eel from the Ebro Delta stands out in dishes such as the 'maki' of this fish with salmon and the 'unagui-don', which combines grilled eel with white rice, poached egg, and a reduction of its juices.
“"Nikkei cuisine is a living language that was born from the encounter between cultures and continues to evolve with its environment."
This integration of local products allows the chef to
“"build new nuances without losing the essence."
In addition to the new creations, the restaurant continues to offer its classics, such as ceviches, signature 'nigiris', lomo saltado, and tiraditos. It also offers a tasting menu for 68 € (without drinks) and a weekly lunch menu for 24 €.
