There are tons of recipes for this, and no two are the same.
Unlike traditional ceviche in which fresh fish is "cooked" in lime for hours, ceviche Nikkei includes fresh fish exposed to lime for only minutes before eating. Nikkei cuisine refers to Japanese-Peruvian food, first created after Japanese farmers immigrated at the end of the 19th century to Peru---the first country in South American to have diplomatic relations with Japan. Nikkei cuisine centers on the use of seafood---fish, octopus, scallops---and integrates Japanese ingredients like miso, ginger, soy, and wasabi with Peruvian staples including aji pepper, potatoes, and corn.

Directions
For the asian part of the sauce
Put everything on the pot on high heat until it goes syrupy
Put it in the fridge or freezer until cold to mix with the tiger's milk
For the tiger's milk
We put everything in the blender and pulse about 5 times to grind them down a bit but definitely not fully.
Pass it through a fine sieve and squeeze down to get all the juices out.
If you're not going to use it immediately, keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go bitter.
The fish
Cut thin tuna slices, without any dark meat.
Season with salt before putting on the plate.
To decorate
Put the tuna slices in a line and then put the sauce on top. Do this right before eating or the fish will cook.
Cut thin sticks of cucumber, only the green part plus a bit of flesh. With the center part you can flavour water 🙂
Put the crispy quinua, the sliced chili and sesame oil drops on top to finish off.
Notes
You can replace the tuna for a white, mild fish like sea bass or sole, and even salmon.
