Konpa in Corona del Mar!
Nestled in the heart of Corona Del Mar, Konpa is Chef Jason Yamaguchi's latest culinary venture. Inspired by his Japanese heritage and extensive travels throughout Peru, Yamaguchi creates his distinctive interpretation of Nikkei cuisine using seasonal ingredients sourced from both origins. Traditionally, Peruvian ceviche is made with fresh fish marinated in lemon juice, accompanied by onion, chili, and cilantro. In the Nikkei version, Japanese elements such as soy sauce ginger and sesame oil are incorporated, adding new nuances of flavor and aroma to the classic dish.

Jasmine K. – Lomo Saltado Musubi
"I’ve never had musubi like this before! The prime short rib was incredibly tender, and the crispy papas added a nice crunch. It’s a perfect handheld bite that packs a punch of flavor!"
