"You will have an eye-opening dinner at the restaurant of the chef who was the first to merge the Japanese and Peru food cultures. The result was a wonderful Cuisine that takes the best of both worlds. You will try the Ceviche Costanera: a Japanese version of the traditional Ceviche prepared with Soy Sauce and Japanese spices, and other Nikkei dishes that will blow your mind."

"The batter was firmer and crunchier than traditional Japanese tempura, and slightly more browned. It was delicious and came with tempura sauce pre-seasoned with ginger. The ingredients were mostly traditional, big prawn, little prawn, onion, and carrot, with one special Peruvian touch – plantain. Plantain tempura is genius, I think every tempura should include it."

"We started with an uni tiradito. We ordered erizo tiradito with shoyu and olive oil “Costanera". It was more uni at one sitting than I’ve ever had before. In Japan, for that price, you’d only get one sea urchin worth of uni – and it would often have come from Peru! The food is great, the service is very friendly and helpful, the view is nice, and the sense of history is incomparable."

"Costanera 700 is a Peruvian classic. Forty years ago, chef/owner Humberto Sato created one of Lima’s top restaurants, serving what has become known as Peruvian-Japanese fusion. The ceviche Costanera is a combination of seafood dressed with lime, olive oil and a touch of soy topped with the traditional Salsa Criolla. The plate was plentiful with lots of flavor."

We sampled Peru’s favorite maki roll - Acebichado. This roll is a combination of tempura shrimp, fresh tuna and avocado topped with a lemony mayonnaise sauce."

"Costanera 700 is a Peruvian classic. Forty years ago, chef/owner Humberto Sato created one of Lima’s top restaurants, serving what has become known as Peruvian-Japanese fusion. We sampled the beautiful plate of jumbo shrimp in a light and crispy tempura batter."

"Sato’s tempura, deep-fried in four different pans––each heated at different temperatures––is surprisingly delicate and crispy."
