Yes! Mother and daughter sushi cravings has finally been satisfied! And this is not only sushi we had for dinner, it's the best sushi from our favourite sushi and bento restaurant that is Wasabi.
"In 2003, Wasabi became the first company in the UK to sell individually wrapped pieces of sushi, offering customers a beautifully wide choice and the chance to truly experiment with the fresh delights of Japanese cuisine." 

Wasabi is my favourite Japanese restaurant because it offers a variety of fresh Japanese dishes from sushi, nigiri and temaki to noodle soups and rice dishes. To find out more about Wasabi and the menu, then click this! Furthermore, scroll down to check out my Wasabi savoir-faire!
