Shopping Guide
With the Tanabata or Star Festival getting closer, Mizkan decided to bring some more color into it through their Sushi+ campaign, which promotes new, innovative ways of making and eating sushi, often with unusual ingredients.
Sushi Cake for Enlivening Tanabata
To bring something new to Tanabata meals, Mizkan is distributing a “sushi cake” recipe and how to enjoy it. By putting star-shaped rolled omelette, ham, cucumber, and carrots on the top with some okra, salmon roe, and salmon flakes, you get a fun and appetizing sushi cake showered with multi-colored stars - a perfect dish for Tanabata. All you need is a cake pan or milk box on hand, and anyone from children to adults can make their own gorgeous sushi cake, which Mizkan is promoting through TV commercials and a special site. The TV commercial “Sushi Cake Song Tanabata” will begin broadcasting Japan-wide from Saturday, June 25.
