PEKO PEKO – Japanese Eatery

PEKO PEKO is a new restaurant that opened up this past weekend and it’s one I had been waiting to open for a few months now. That’s because PEKO PEKO used to be called RAW before they closed down this past Ramadan for renovations. RAW was one of my favorite sushi places and so I was disappointed they had closed down but also curious to see what they were going to open up instead. The chef is the very talented Abdullah AlYaqout so I knew whatever he was cooking up was going to be interesting. While RAW was a purely Japanese eatery, PEKO PEKO is a Japanese eatery but with East Asian influences. What this means is you’ll find more than just your typical sushi on the menu. With so many sushi places in Kuwait and some really good ones, they probably realized that they had to do something different to stick out and I think they did a pretty good job based on what I tried. The menu I had was the tasting menu and so was fairly limited and didn’t include the prices, but I pretty much liked 8 out of the 10 or so dishes I tried. I’ll be heading back there this week again to try their full menu and maybe post about the place properly, but for now, if you’re looking for a new restaurant to try then check them out. They’re in their soft launch phase so they’re currently open only from 6PM to 10PM (but daily). For pictures and a link to their location, check out their instagram @eatpekopeko

A Peek Inside Raw Restaurant in Kuwait

Raw II. is the second venue of iconic Sushi Restaurant based in Kuwait City, this time specialized in the so-called Nikkei food, Japanese-Peruvian Fusion Cuisine. The interior of the establishment was completed by Mexican creative studio Futura. “Part of the challenge was to preserve the essence of the first RAW restaurant, but with a twist that could identify its new food style. We took inspiration from the rough and natural feeling of quarries of marble and stone, which is the purest form of nature. We tested different materials such as copper, marble and wood. As part of the design approach, we experimented with the lightning: there is a gradient that goes from the entrance to the back of the restaurant, creating certain mysticism around the kitchen: the same mysticism that Nikkei food has for itself. The arrangement of chairs and tables, gives an intimate touch, its like being in your own washitsu in the middle of the desert.”
