Vegan bento pop up: Chirashi sushi

Maest food at Harken coffee : Vegan bento pop up 0.2 : Chirashi sushi.

Do you know Chirashi sushi? It’s basically like a poke, this is the quickest answer - it has long history. It have been commonly eaten in Japan since late 1800s, normally fresh fish (sashimi) on sushi rice.

This is vegan and artistically made- no fish at all, but variety of mocked fish and coulourful farm vegetables on the rice.

Ikura, marinated tuna, smoked salmon, kinshi tamago(shredded crape style egg) - all house made with vegetables.

Every content is made with thoughtful method to balance the flavour and texture, cured or marinated, etc. 

The chirashi sushi is in a beautiful wooden box, and also with Farm red potato Miso soup.

Available 20th & 21st March at Harken coffee 338 Powell street. Very limited number, highly recommend to pre-order online.
