If this is your first visit to a Nikkei restaurant, many of the names on the menu may seem unfamiliar. Cebiche, Tiradito, Leche de Tigre, Ají Amarillo, Concolón—none of these belong to traditional Japanese cuisine, nor are they dishes that, for the most part, most people readily associate with Peru. In fact, Nikkei has evolved into a distinct culinary tradition of its own, and Ponja has become one of Madrid’s most compelling ambassadors of this cuisine.
