Light, flavoursome and tasty, you wont find better sushi anywhere else. Taiko Sushi is the only choice.
Taiko sushi uses only the best quality ingredients to produce sushi that tastes like you are actually in a downtown Tokyo Sushi bar. We follow authentic recipes to ensure that true Japanese elegant flavours are enjoyed by our happy customers.
SUSHI RICE
The Taiko sushi rice recipe was developed over a 12 month period, with daily rice tasting to ensure we produce the best quality sushi rice for our customers to enjoy.
The perfect sushi rice should be light and fluffy, but sticky enough so it can be rolled and also not fall apart when you pick up your nigiri! It can take years to master this basic formula.
SUSTAINABILITY
All of Taiko Foods fish and shellfish are either farmed or sustainably caught. We were the first sushi supplier to launch products with the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) logo on them over 8 years ago.
Taiko have 2 products with the MSC logo on, available at Waitrose – MSC Californian Rolls and MSC Tuna Wrap.
