What Makes Peruvian Ceviche Unique: A Perspective from Cusco
Ceviche is one of the most emblematic dishes of Peruvian cuisine, and at Hanz Restaurant, we take it to another level with our Nikkei interpretation. But what makes Peruvian ceviche so special? From its fresh ingredients to its traditional preparation, this dish is much more than a simple recipe: it's a reflection of Peru's culture, history, and diversity. In this post, we'll explore why Peruvian ceviche is unique and how we celebrate it in Cusco at Hanz Restaurant.

Fresh Ingredients: The Foundation of Peruvian Ceviche
The secret of Peruvian ceviche lies in the quality of its ingredients. Traditionally, it's prepared with fresh fish marinated in lime juice, accompanied by red onion, yellow chili pepper, salt, and cilantro. At Hanz Restaurant, we've reinterpreted this classic recipe to offer an innovative experience.
Our Hanz Ceviche
At our restaurant, the Hanz Ceviche combines trout salmon in Nikkei aroma with sweet potatoes, crunchy corn, and a marinade of fresh lime and yellow chili pepper. This fusion touch adds a new dimension to traditional ceviche while keeping its Peruvian essence intact.
Regional Influence: A Cusco Touch
Although ceviche has its roots in Peru's coastal regions, at Hanz Restaurant we give it a unique twist inspired by Cusco's Andean region. We use local ingredients like sweet potato and purple corn, which not only enhance the dish's flavor but also connect with the area's agricultural richness.
This approach allows us to offer a ceviche that's not only authentic but also representative of Peru's cultural diversity.
The Nikkei Technique: Innovation in Every Bite
Nikkei fusion has transformed how we enjoy Peruvian ceviche. Inspired by Japanese precision, we use techniques like delicate cuts and carefully balanced marinades to create a gourmet experience.
At Hanz Restaurant, the Hanz Ceviche pays homage to this culinary fusion. Every bite combines the best of both cultures: Peruvian freshness and Japanese elegance.
Why Ceviche Is More Than Just a Dish
Ceviche isn't just food; it's a celebration of Peruvian identity. It represents the connection between the sea, the land, and the people. At Hanz Restaurant, we understand this importance and strive to convey that passion in every dish.
From our privileged location in the heart of Cusco, we invite our guests to enjoy this iconic dish while admiring the majestic Plaza de Armas from our Balcony Room.
