West Ham United’s Riko Ueki and Anouk Denton celebrated and educated each other on their cultures in a Japanese/Peruvian special episode of Lyca Mobile’s Hotspots.
Hammers striker and Japan international Ueki was joined by teammate Anouk Denton as they visited Bamboo-Mat, which serves an outstanding blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.
During the episode the Hammers duo try a wide range of some of Bamboo-Mat’s most popular dishes including sushi rolls, ox-cheek and Peruvian speciality Seabass Ceviche. Ueki and Denton both enjoy the unique and powerful flavours of the Nikkei cuisine on offer, wanting to ‘eat it all’ as the plates kept coming.
The pair have both played instrumental roles in the Hammers’ latest WSL season, helping to break a club record for the most home wins in a Super League season.
The third episode of the series encapsulates West Ham United’s and Lyca Mobile’s mission to champion east London’s diverse cultures through ‘hotspots’ which brings together football, food and community to showcase the global identity of the club within the local community.
