Sushi and sashimi have been part of Japanese cuisine for centuries. While sashimi and sushi are often used interchangeably to refer to the same delicacy, they are actually two different types of food. While sushi is made of several accompanying ingredients like rice seasoned with vinegar, raw fish, seaweed, soy paper, cucumber, omelettes, and avocado, sashimi is just one slice of seafood. Slices or strips of raw fish may be used in making sushi rolls, but to be called pure sashimi, it should be on its own.

If your taste buds are craving to bite into mouth-watering sushi and sashimi, you do not need to head to Tokyo for the real flavour. Fujiyama, the authentic Japanese restaurant at Avari Towers, Karachi, offers an unlimited variety to the sushi enthusiasts in town. Not only the variety of Japanese cuisine but the breath taking view of the city from roof top is something to look forward to. Along with sushi and sashimi, the restaurant has yakitori which is a Japanese style skewered chicken. It has a live cooking station where the Japanese chef cooks with all his passion. The new Sushi Day & Night Menu served on Wednesdays has wide variety of sushi, sashimi and maki out of which the highlight was Dynamite Maki which has actually become synonymous to sushi for locals.

Sushi and maki both have flavours blended really well and is quite refreshing. Also, the vegetarian maki is a good option for people with plant-based diet. The combination of carrot and cucumber was light yet appetising. All of these flavourful bites are served with sauce which is phenomenal with the right addition of wasabi and ginger. To top it all, they have delish desserts buffet to complete your meal with!

Fujiyama is the place where you will find your sushi rolls and everything more fresh than anywhere else. If you desire anything Japanese, think no more and head towards this amazing place to satisfy your heart and soul!
