Peru made a vibrant and flavorful impression at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai with a gastronomic showcase highlighting the country’s rich biodiversity and culinary heritage. Japanese family-focused influencers enthusiastically shared their experience on social media, generating excitement and curiosity among their audiences.

The influencers were treated to a menu of traditional Peruvian dishes such as ceviche and causa, which left a lasting impression. These are the same dishes that will be offered free of charge at the Peruvian Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai.

They were amazed by the explosion of flavors, textures, and colors in each dish—each crafted with native ingredients that tell the story of Peru’s diverse regions, from the Pacific coast and Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest. Visitors appreciated the deep connection between Peruvian cuisine and its natural environment.

Through videos, photos, and posts, the influencers spotlighted unique native ingredients such as ají amarillo (Peruvian yellow hot pepper), rocoto (red hot pepper), choclo (giant corn), and native potatoes. Their enthusiastic content sparked a wave of admiration and curiosity for the Peruvian Pavilion across Japan.

Under the theme “Endless Possibilities”, the pavilion will showcase all of Peru’s charm—including its diverse cultural heritage, abundant natural beauty, world-renowned cuisine, and high-quality products. Designed to inspire and inform, the pavilion invites visitors to explore Peru’s history, creativity, and vision for the future: a world of endless possibilities waiting to be discovered.

The official inauguration of the Peruvian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai will take place this Sunday, April 13, and will be attended by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Desilú León Chempén, who will preside over the opening ceremony.
