I ngā tau tata nei, kua horapa te "whakaranu-ā-whakakotahi" puta noa i te ao kai – kei te noho te Kai Whakakotahi hei tino pai ki ngā kai reka. Ina hoha ngā kai reka ki te reka kotahi, ka puta tonu mai he ohorere i tēnei momo kai auaha e pakaru ana i ngā rohe whenua, e takaro ana ki ngā kai me ngā tikanga. He rerekē ki ngā kai tuku iho, kāore he taonga hītori o te kai whakaranu. Engari, ka taea e ia te whakakotahi noa i ngā reka o ngā ahurea rerekē i roto i te huarahi matapōkere, ka hanga i ngā reka hou e tino miharo ana.
Mō te "Nikkei", he maha ngā tohunga kai e miharo ana: kei te pito rāwhiti o Āhia tētahi, kei te takutai uru o Amerika ki te Tonga tētahi, e wehea ana e te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa katoa. He aha te momo mura ka taea e ēnei e rua te waihanga? Engari he mea whakamīharo, he nui te hapori Hapanihi o Peru, ā, kua whakarerekētia marietia e tā rātou ahurea kai ngā ira reka o Peru.
I tīmata tēnei kōrero i ngā tau neke atu i te kotahi rau ki muri. I te mutunga o te rautau 19, i tino hiahia a Peru, i whiwhi mana motuhake, ki ngā kaimahi, ā, i muri i te Whakaoratanga o Meiji, i āwangawanga a Hapani mō te nui rawa o te tangata me te iti rawa o te whenua. Pērā tonu, he tini ngā manene Hapanihi i whiti i te moana ka tae mai ki Peru. Ko te kupu "Nikkei" i te tīmatanga i pā ki ēnei manene Hapanihi, pērā i te mea whakamere ko ngā wharekai Hainamana i Peru e kiia ana ko "Chifa" (i ahu mai i te kupu Hainamana "kai").
I te tīmatanga, he "Kīngitanga Reka" a Peru – i waiho e ngā tāngata whenua, ngā tāngata whenua o Pāniora, ngā pononga Āwherika, ngā manene Hainamana me ngā manene Hapanihi ō rātou "tohu reka" katoa ki konei. I kitea e ngā manene Hapanihi he uaua ki te kimi i ngā kai o tō rātou kāinga, engari i whakatuwheratia he ao hou ki a rātou nā ngā kai hou pēnei i te āwōkātō, te pepa kōwhai me te quinoa. He waimarie, ka taea e ngā kai moana maha o Peru te whakamarie i ō rātou puku e ngenge ana ki te kāinga.
Nō reira, he rite te kai "Nikkei" ki tētahi tauhohenga matū reka: ka tūtaki ngā pūkenga tunu kai Hapanihi ki ngā kai o Peru, ka whānau mai he momo hou whakamiharo. He mīharo tonu ngā kai moana i konei, engari ka honoa ki ngā raima Peru, ki te kānga maha-tae, me ngā rīwai o ngā tae rerekē…… Ka tūtaki te reka o te kai Hapanihi ki te maia o Amerika ki te Tonga, pērā i te tango reka tino pai.
Ko te "ranu" tino rongonui ko te "Ceviche" (ika i ruia ki te wai raima). Ka tino miharo ngā kai Hapanihi ina kite tuatahi rātou i tēnei rihi: He aha i kawa ai te sashimi? He āhua kua maoa te kiko ika? He aha te papamuri o aua taha karakara kei raro i te pereti?
Ko te makutu o tēnei rihi kei roto i te "Miraka Taika" (Leche de tigre) – he ranu huna i hangaia ki te wai raima me ngā pepa kōwhai. Nā te kawa ka "whakaahua te pūmua ika kua tino maoa", ā, i muri i te kihi mārietia e te mura, ka puta tonu te kakara hinuhinu o te hāmana. Hei whakamutunga, ka tukuna me te kānga tunutunu, te riki kua whakamāoatia me te puree rimu, he rite tonu ki te whakakakahu i te kai Hapanihi kua tohua ki te kākahu kanikani Latina. Ka mau tonu tōna āhua huatau me te tāpiri i te pa o te ataahua.
I konei, he mahi nui anō tā te sushi: ka taea te whakakapi i te raihi ki te quinoa, ki te rīwai penupenu rānei, ā, ka hunaia ngā whakakī ki ngā "tutei o Amerika ki te Tonga" pērā i te māngo me te āwōkātō. Ina tōia ki roto i te ranu, me whai ranu motuhake a Peru. Kāore he raruraru, "he manene sushi o te reanga tuarua". Tae atu ki te heihei parai Nanban i Nishizaki Prefecture kua whakahoutia tōna pakari ki te putanga Pro i muri i te whakamahi i te quinoa hei utu mō te paraoa pokepoke!
Ka kiia tēnei e ētahi he "kai auaha Hapanihi", ko ētahi he "kai tuku iho i te reka". Engari kei roto i ēnei pereti o ngā rihi whakakotahi kei reira te kōrero whakahoahoa o ngā iwi e rua e whiti ana i te moana. Te āhua nei ko ngā "marenatanga whakawhiti rohe" i roto i te ao tunu kai ka taea te whakaoho ake i ngā whakaaro kanapa atu i ngā aroha ahurea. I a rātou e whai ana i te reka, kua tino haria e te tangata te wairua o "kāore he rohe o ngā kai reka" ki te tino taumata!
