A perfect fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, Izakaya brings to Cairo a variety of local dishes combining the best of both cultures. Imagine the ultimate sensational dish of the freshest Asian delicacies, along with a touch of Peruvian, such as the famed sweet potato; and you get an Izakaya artistic creation. It all started when a migrant Japanese went to Peru and began to work alongside the locals. Nikkei fell in love with the local cuisine and added some of the essence of authentic Japanese. Luckily for us it’s found a home for this great fusion here in Cairo at Izakaya.
