Why We Like It

Because it’s a Nikkei-style spot from a skilled chef trained in Edomae sushi, with previous stints at Morimoto, O Ya, and Sushi Noz. Accordingly, expect expertly prepared nigiri and maki, with Peruvian touches like leche de tigre and huacatay sprinkled throughout.

About Kansha

Kansha is more than a restaurant—it’s a tribute to gratitude, heritage, and the harmony of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. Founded by Chef Jorge Dionicio, Kansha embodies the Japanese concept of “kansha”—deep appreciation and respect.

Born in Peru, Chef Jorge grew up with the bold flavors of ceviche and fresh seafood. His journey led him to master Japanese cuisine, where he embraced precision, discipline, and artistry. Guided by revered masters, he learned that sushi is more than technique—it’s a way of life.

At Kansha, each dish blends Japanese elegance with Peruvian vibrancy, honoring both traditions. Every bite reflects Chef Jorge’s gratitude—for his roots, his mentors, and the people who join him on this journey. Welcome to Kansha, where every meal is a thank you.
