Signature Dining

Our menu highlights the robata technique, which means “fireside.” This is a long-standing Japanese tradition of a grilling method much-beloved in Nikkei cuisine that was first introduced by fishermen who took boxes of hot coals on their boats to warm their food while they gathered the day’s catch. The unique, Bincho-tan charcoal provides the smoky and umami-filled fuel for the Japanese robata grill; a perfect tool for yakitori, teppanyaki or other skewered bites.

Nikkei Cuisine

Nikkei cuisine is a refreshing marriage between the culinary traditions of Peru and Japan. Almost an art form, Nikkei cuisine creates harmonies between the colors, flavors and aromas of the two countries, imbuing the delicacy and fantasy of the Japanese cuisine with the strong, vibrant and spicy flavors of Peru. At AJI Bar and Robata, the bold and captivating menu delivers a mesmerizing night for the senses.
