One creation that encapsulates his pride and embodies a beautiful blend of cultures is the "Tuna Zuke Nikkei." This exquisite dish is a testament to the fusion of Peruvian and Japanese culinary traditions. Lucas's creative innovation revolves around the Tuna Zuke, a process involving a swift boil followed by marination in a blend of Sake and shoyu sauce, creating a delicately sealed, flavor-infused layer within the tuna.
