Sushi nutrition

The Japanese diet is often seen as a particularly healthy way of eating. Here are a few details of the nutritional properties present in the different kinds of Japanese food available at Wasabi.

• Fish is high in protein and – especially compared with meat – low in fat.
• Most fish are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. These are believed by scientists and nutritionists to be vital to our diet as they are not independently produced by the human body. They have a great number of health benefits.
• Studies into Omega-3 fatty acids suggest that their consumption can help in many areas, including: helping to guard against Alzheimer’s disease; lowering blood pressure; helping to maintain the central nervous system and helping to moderate blood sugar levels.
• Edamame beans, a favourite of many Wasabi customers, have been hailed as a ‘superfood’, rich in amino acids, fibre, protein and Vitamin C.
• Seaweed, popular in Wasabi salads, is believed to have many benefits, ranging from maintaining healthy skin, nails and hair to reducing the risk of cancer.

We are currently updating Wasabi's nutrition guide following the inclusion of new food items in our menu. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.
