Nikkei cooking from Lima.
15-second booking
The story.
Itamae 47 is chef Akira Vargas's Nikkei restaurant in Miraflores, Lima.
An intimate counter where the itamae cooks in front of you, anchored by a twelve-course omakase that rotates seasonally and a short à la carte of tiraditos, makis and hot plates where ají amarillo and Nikkei sauce meet dashi and miso. Three-week reservation window; the eight-seat counter is the most coveted booking in the city.
Behind the bar.
Akira Vargas (Lima, 1987) is the granddaughter of Iwate fishermen and the great-granddaughter of Ayacuchan farmers. She trained at Maido and Toshiro's before spending two years in Tokyo between Sushi Yoshitake and the omakase counter at Toyosu market. Itamae 47, opened February 2022, is her first solo project.
