5 dishes you absolutely must try at Japanika this summer!
Summer is the season of lightness, playfulness, and culinary adventures – and that spirit comes alive in the kitchen at Japanika, too. Our seasonal dishes are not only exciting and unique, but they also bring the fresh, vibrant flavors of Japanese and Southeast Asian cuisine to your plate. Here are five must-try dishes you simply can’t miss this summer.
- Fruit Sushi
A sweet twist on sushi that’s as eye-catching as it is unique. Made with coconut milk-infused sushi rice, wrapped in soy paper, and filled with fresh fruits. It’s a true summer dessert – exotic, refreshing, and perfect for anyone craving a light, creative treat.
- Japanika Bao
Soft, steamed bao bun filled with fresh vegetables and soy-mayo sauce. It comes with crispy panko-coated chicken breast, but can also be ordered in a gluten-free version with grilled chicken. The Japanika Bao is the perfect fusion of comfort food and refined dining – a dish you won’t want to skip.
- Crunchy Roll
If you love classic sushi but want something with a bit more excitement, the Crunchy Roll is made for you. Crispy on the outside, smooth and balanced on the inside – a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. This inside-out futomaki roll features tamago, crispy salmon skin, and kanpyo (Japanese pumpkin), topped with fried onion and bonito flakes for that irresistible crunch. A new favorite in the making.
- Mango Sticky Rice
A Thai classic, served with Japanese elegance. Coconut sticky rice paired with sweet, juicy mango creates a flavor harmony that’s hard to resist. Light, summery, and a perfect way to end any meal on a high note.
- Grilled Sea Bass
Tender sea bass, rich in vitamins and minerals, grilled to perfection to highlight its natural flavor. Refined, healthy, and satisfying – a standout main course for any spring or summer lunch or dinner.
