"Sushi does not always have to be rolled. It's not always eaten raw or made with seafood. We serve some vegetarian ones too. The idea is to show people that it's not so complicated. It's like any other finger food that you can eat with your hand. For first timers, we have options where they can choose between portions of four or eight pieces.

Initially, we try to go easy by offering them fillings like Tempura Fried Prawn or the Asparagus and Cream Cheese, which are more pleasing to the palate than the raw versions," he adds, before getting ready to dish out his creations for us.
