Join Global Minnesota at K’kinaco, Minnesota’s only Nikkei restaurant and Pisco bar for Culture through Cuisine. Hear from co-owner Enrique Luis about the origins of the food tradition and experience a hand selected three course meal. You’ll also sample a hand-crafted pisco cocktail, the national spirit of Peru which is similar to brandy.

After becoming the first Latin American country to establish diplomatic relations with Japan, Peru saw a significant wave of Japanese immigration. As Japanese and Peruvian cultures mixed together, new traditions arose, including Nikkei cuisine, a blending of ingredients and preparation styles between the two countries.

Registration includes appetizers, dinner, dessert, a cocktail or non-alcoholic beverage, and taxes and tip. Additional beverages will be available for purchase. Dinner is served as a pre-set menu, so please let us know by June 24 if you have any dietary restrictions (including if you need a vegetarian menu or non-alcoholic cocktail option).
