Japanese cuisine offers far more than the well-known sushi and teppanyaki-style dishes often associated with tourist dining. While sushi, with its delicate balance of fresh seafood and rice, and teppanyaki, where skilled chefs prepare meals on a sizzling steel grill before your eyes, are both popular, Acapulco also offers a broader selection of authentic Japanese flavors.
