Japanese food is so much more than just being delicious, by many it's considered an art form. Sushi has to have the perfect colour, flavour and texture and that’s why we like to leave it to the professionals.
With the hot Okanagan weather, sometimes you just need a filling meal that’s going to keep you cool, and Japanese is the perfect choice for that.
