Papa San blends Peruvian, Japanese flavors and techniques
This week's Neighborhood Eats takes you to Papa San in Hudson Yards.

This week's Neighborhood Eats takes us to Papa San in Hudson Yards, where diners can get a taste of Nikkei cuisine.

Nikkei cuisine emerged when Japanese people settled in Peru, creating a unique culinary tradition influenced by both cultures.

At Papa San, the head chef is sharing that cuisine with guests in a way that's approachable and enjoyable for anyone who stops by.

During Eyewitness News' visit, we learned more about the history behind Nikkei cuisine and how the restaurant brings those influences to its menu.

For the chef, the food offers a chance to explore and share part of his culture with diners in New York City.

And it's delicious.
