Japan’s booth — Hanami — features the fun Frushi once again. Frushi — a fusion of fruit and sushi — was the hit of this Outdoor Kitchen last year!

- Frushi – Fresh pineapple, strawberries and melon, rolled with coconut rice, topped with raspberry sauce, sprinkled with toasted coconut and served with whipped cream on the side
- Temaki hand roll – Sliced Panko fried chicken, curry sauce, rice and pickled julienne carrots wrapped with Nori

- Kirin draft beer

Kids will find the Frushi lots of fun!

The sushi, including beef as well, was a wonderful primer to this dish.
We loved watching the chef make the Temaki hand rolls to order.
The Japanese puffed rice cakes with green tea whipped cream and azuki was a really fun surprise! We very much enjoyed this extra dessert at the booth.
The highly-anticipated Frushi lived up to its fun billing. It’s a great option for kids! This sweet, dessert sushi is a great choice if you like the fruit offerings.
