    I always thought that my mom was cooking Japanese food when I was a kid, now that I live in Japan, I know that even it looks the same it taste different, My grandparents were Japanese who immigrated to Peru. So the name is correct is peruvian nikkei food. Both are really delicious !

    Peru is the Most Asian Country Out of The Asia Continent .. Chinese + Japanese Immigrant's coming to Peru for years ago // Food of Both Sides are Best of The World Fusion With Peruvian Flavor's ..Peru Have Afro - Peruvians ( Nigeria ) , Italians , Spanish , Native Cultures , + The Magical Influence of Flavors ..

    @Monki_29 10 років тому +181

    The reason why several inmigrants feel more peruvian than their country of origin is because they don't feel uninvited in their new country. That's what happens with Italian-americans, chinese-americans, even afro-americans in the US, who tend to make little niches and different social groups of the receptor country.
    In Peru it isn't like that, Africans, Whites, autoctonous and Asians are all the same if you have a peruvian accent. We are all peruvian.

    • @BrazitodeWawa
      @BrazitodeWawa 8 років тому +8

      No, it's all the same. We make fun of Asians, blacks, Indians, etc. we the majority can do that and it's also done in other cultures. It's normal behavior

      @ you and scooby are both right and wrong
      Yes there is a LOT of racism in Peru and it is more in your face than in America. Although in American it can become more lethal because you can lose your life for being of a certain race.
      The difference is that in Peru the white minority is very small so the feeling of "underpriviledge" is not so overwhelming like it is in the States. "Americans" do not have a strong culture the way peruvians do so it does not motivate immigrants to adopt it. While Peruvian culture is very strong and welcoming in many different ways other than the fully acceptance of other ethnic groups

    The greatness of a nation is in the diversity of its people and Peruvian food would be inexistent if not for the influences that the Spaniards, Africans, Chinese, Italians, and Japanese have had on Peruvian Cuisine, adding to the richness of the many native groups that have existed in Peru, from the Mochicas, Huancas to the Incas and many more. Peru is not Peru without any of this different ethnic groups. DIOS BENDIGA A MI LINDO PERU, A TRUE MELTING POT.

      Pretty normal, there are Asians all over the world. Look at Chinese Jamaican, Tessanne Chin (winner of the voice) - she sounds completely Jamaican and her family has been there for generations. She is as Jamaican as any one else in the country and you can see how much they embrace her as their own by just searching videos of her on youtube. There are even Asians that have been in Kenya for centuries. They are in literally every continent / sub continent where people live. There are China towns all over Brazil and Argentina. Asians assimilate pretty well because they are generally respectful, hard working, educated, easy to get along with and make good food so pretty much everyone likes them.

      Karlita daz It's not a choice they consciously make, they have no choice. If you're socialized in a country, that is what you are. Skin color or national origin has nothing to do with what forms your ego identity - it's the environment you were raised in.

    i don t agree with the last statement " we look japanese but we re peruvian" that means they take all the advantage of japanese receipts maker their money and business with it and then they say they re peruvian!
