Izu Japanese - Jardim Goiás
Combinados in Peru reflect the diverse culinary influences of the country, particularly the fusion of indigenous traditions with those brought by immigrants, including Japanese. The combination of Peruvian and Japanese flavors is known as Nikkei cuisine. Sushi and sashimi, originating in Japan, have gained global popularity and are often incorporated into these 'combinados'.
Combinados represent a modern adaptation of traditional dishes, reflecting Peru's embrace of global culinary trends while maintaining its own distinct identity. Sushi and sashimi, as part of combinados, signify the global appeal and integration of Japanese cuisine.
Nikkei Cuisine
The fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors, known as Nikkei, is a significant influence on combinados. It showcases the harmonious blend of seemingly disparate culinary traditions.
Culinary Innovation
Combinados exemplify Peruvian culinary innovation, showcasing the ability to adapt and integrate foreign influences while preserving the integrity of local ingredients and traditions.
Sharing and Variety
Combinados often emphasize sharing and sampling a variety of flavors and textures, promoting a communal dining experience.
Combinados offer a spectrum of flavors, from the bright acidity of ceviche to the umami richness of sushi and the clean, delicate taste of sashimi. The Peruvian influence introduces heat and citrus, while the Japanese elements contribute subtle sweetness and savory depth.
Typical flavors include the tangy lime juice and chili peppers of ceviche, the vinegared rice and seaweed of sushi, the pure flavor of raw fish in sashimi. Common ingredients include fresh seafood (corvina, tuna, salmon), vegetables (onions, cilantro, avocado), and Japanese staples (soy sauce, wasabi, ginger).
Order of Consumption
Start with milder flavors like sashimi, then move to ceviche, and finally sushi with stronger sauces, to progressively build the flavor profile.
Freshness is Key
Ensure that the seafood is of the highest quality and freshness. This is crucial for both taste and safety, especially for raw preparations.
Pairing with Drinks
Consider pairing with pisco sour for Peruvian elements, or sake or Japanese beer for the sushi/sashimi components. A crisp white wine can also be a good all-around choice.
