The Sushi Cakes from Kappa Sushi in Japan have been created using traditional ingredients that one might otherwise find in their favorite maki rolls. The cakes are created by using vinegar rice, raw tuna and ikura (salmon roe) to offer up to eight diners with a meal that is served in an unlikely format for a main course. The cake is set to be available from December 6 to January 8 at participating locations across Japan and is an ideal menu option for large parties to enjoy together during the holidays.

The Sushi Cakes from Kappa Sushi identifies an unlikely format to enjoy the traditional foods, which speaks to an increased focus on international preparation methods that are being introduced in the country.
