Salmon Blueberry Gunkan Maki

What this is

Salmon Blueberry Gunkan Maki is a stunning fusion of flavours that redefines traditional sushi. This artisanal creation features delicate, hand-formed rice wrapped in seaweed, topped with luscious slices of premium salmon and a vibrant blueberry compote. Each piece is a visual delight, showcasing the perfect balance between oceanic freshness and fruity sweetness.

How it is made

Crafted by skilled chefs, each Gunkan Maki begins with perfectly seasoned sushi rice, steamed to achieve an ideal texture—sticky yet tender. The rice is expertly shaped into small oval boats, ready to cradle the toppings. Freshly sliced salmon, sourced from sustainable fisheries, is layered atop the rice, followed by a dollop of our house-made blueberry compote. This unique blend is gently folded to enhance the natural flavours without overpowering them, ensuring every bite is a harmonious celebration of taste.

Where it is sourced

Our salmon is sourced from pristine waters along Australia’s coastline, where fish are sustainably caught to guarantee exceptional quality and freshness. The blueberries are handpicked from local farms, known for their rich soil and ideal growing conditions. This commitment to sourcing only the finest ingredients ensures that every Salmon Blueberry Gunkan Maki reflects the essence of Australian produce.

Flavour profile

The flavour journey begins with the buttery richness of the salmon, complemented by the sweet-tart burst of blueberries. A subtle hint of umami from the seaweed wraps around the dish, while the seasoned rice provides a satisfying chewiness. Together, these elements create a refreshing contrast that dances on the palate, leaving a lasting impression that invites you back for more.
