Tiger Prawn Gunkan

Here’s the Tiger Prawn Gunkan in the same style:

What this is

Tiger Prawn Gunkan is a delicate and flavourful sushi dish that features succulent tiger prawns atop a bed of perfectly seasoned sushi rice, wrapped in crisp nori. The prawns are lightly dressed and arranged for both visual appeal and an explosion of umami flavours in every bite. This gunkan-style sushi is a luxurious choice for seafood lovers seeking a rich, satisfying experience.

How it is made

Our Tiger Prawn Gunkan starts with premium, fresh tiger prawns, lightly poached to preserve their natural sweetness and tenderness. The prawns are carefully placed atop a hand-formed base of sushi rice, which is seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to create the ideal flavour balance. The rice is wrapped in a crisp strip of nori, holding everything together in the classic gunkan style. Each piece is finished with a drizzle of light soy dressing or a garnish of roe, depending on your preference, adding both visual appeal and a burst of additional flavour.

Where it is sourced

The tiger prawns in our gunkan are sustainably sourced from Australian waters, renowned for their pristine marine environments and high-quality seafood. We work closely with local fisheries to ensure that the prawns are fresh, sweet, and ethically harvested. Our nori and sushi rice are imported from top Japanese suppliers, guaranteeing authenticity and superior taste in every bite.

Flavour profile

Tiger Prawn Gunkan offers a harmonious balance of sweet, tender prawns and the umami richness of seasoned sushi rice. The prawns have a naturally delicate sweetness, enhanced by the slight saltiness of the nori and the savoury soy dressing. The texture of the tender prawn contrasts beautifully with the sticky sushi rice and crisp nori, creating a perfect bite that is both rich and refreshing. Each mouthful delivers a clean, ocean-fresh flavour with a subtle depth of umami.
