Nikkei is a collaboration, musubi, a place of union, of gathering. But Nikkei is also an aspiration. We seek to humbly honor the varied culinary traditions of Japan by creating an edible narrative of food of the Japanese diaspora. We endeavor to do this while respecting and representing the bounty offered by local producers and the rich foodways of Louisiana.
