Increasing Popularisation

Some twenty years after Europeans first made the acquaintance of Japanese fast food, sushi has, for many city dwellers, become a well-established component of their diet. Foodservice entrepreneurs value the good margins and suitability for all possible formats, from take-aways and delivery services to fast casual and fine dining. As has always been the case, most of the markets are dominated by individual players. But, at the same time, there are some reliable brands, often brands with a strong sense of design, that are managing to establish themselves in a segment where confidence in the safety and quality of the products counts for even more than in many others.

'Out of Town' in Town

Long gone are the times when it was only possible to feel coastal sand under your feet on holiday. Today, more and more European city dwellers can enjoy that relaxing beach feeling just around the corner.
