Raspberry Gunkan Maki is a delightful fusion of traditional Japanese sushi craftsmanship and innovative culinary artistry. This exquisite dish features delicate, vinegared rice shaped into a small boat, cradling a vibrant filling of fresh raspberries, expertly wrapped in a sheet of nori. Each piece is a visual feast, showcasing the stunning contrast between the deep green seaweed and the luscious red berries.
How it is made
Artisanal preparation begins with selecting the finest sushi rice, cooked to perfection and seasoned with a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for that quintessential tang. The rice is then gently moulded into bite-sized gunkan shapes, creating a perfect vessel for the raspberry filling. Fresh raspberries are handpicked at their peak ripeness, ensuring maximum juiciness and flavour. Each piece is meticulously assembled by skilled chefs who take pride in their craft, resulting in a harmonious balance of texture and taste.
Where it is sourced
The raspberries used in our Gunkan Maki are sourced from local Australian farms renowned for their sustainable practices and commitment to quality. These farms cultivate their berries under ideal conditions, allowing them to flourish naturally without the use of harmful pesticides. This dedication to sourcing ensures that every bite bursts with authentic flavour while supporting local agriculture.
Flavour profile
The Raspberry Gunkan Maki offers an enchanting interplay of flavours.

A hint of natural tartness from the berries elevates each mouthful, while the chewy texture of the rice complements the juicy softness of the fruit. This unique combination creates a refreshing and unforgettable taste sensation that lingers long after the last bite.
