1. From fast food to star restaurant

Sushi is here for everyone, to-go, as lunch but also a true delicacy!

Originally, sushi originated from the demand for a quick bite to take away. But when real estate prices dropped, many street vendors moved to real restaurants and sushi took on a more exclusive image. The flavors became refined and served as true works of art. This blew over to the West where sushi were seen as true delicacies. Today, sushi is very popular in the United States and Europe but has become somewhat “westernized. In fact, sushi is very popular with all-you-can-eat and takeaway chains.

2 Accessible prices

Sushi is there for everyone and every wallet. Although sushi is a true delicacy, it has long since ceased to be exclusive. Due to the wide range of restaurants, there is also a lot of difference in price. This makes sushi prices accessible to a wide audience. That way you choose whether to go for takeaway, all-you-can-eat or fine dining!

3 Young and fresh

Sushi is fairly new in our Western culture. The concept is young and fresh, which makes it especially popular with guests under the age of 30. They are open to new experiences and enjoy discovering different cuisines.

4. Fish, but different

Sushi is very popular, even with people who normally don't like fish that much. Sushi is often thought of as a fish dish, but the main ingredient is really rice. The unique relationship between fish and rice allows everyone to experience fish differently. It is different from fried salmon or sole. The dishes are surprising and innovative and introduce you to a new world of flavors and combinations.

5. Japanese culture

Where a while ago woks were very popular, they have now really had to give up some of that popularity to sushi. Meanwhile, wok as a dish has also been adopted by various Eastern cultures. Sushi, on the other hand, is truly Japanese, and that is what makes it so original. Japanese cuisine is known for its skill and discipline, and you can taste that in sushi!

6. An experience

Sushi is not just a dish, it is an experience. You can eat sushi in peace at the table or choose to witness the preparation up close at the bar. In addition, sushi is traditionally eaten with chopsticks, an experience in itself. Dining in a sushi restaurant is not only about sushi, it's also about sampling the atmosphere. Immerse yourself in century-old traditions and enjoy the experience! For this you are at the right place at our sushi restaurant OZZO.

7. Rest

'Experiencing' sushi at a quality sushi restaurant is the ultimate relaxation. You enjoy delicious freshly prepared ingredients and aesthetic craftsmanship in an environment that exudes serenity. Ideal for starting the weekend or ending the day full of fulfillment.

8. Variety

There is an incredible amount of variety in sushi. Sushi is prepared in various ways, in various forms, with all kinds of ingredients. There is even sushi without fish: with meat, vegetables, eggs, ... The huge variety makes it an attractive dish for many people, with different preferences or eating habits or from different cultures. Discover all our different sushi dishes via this link.

9. Tasty appetizers

The concept of multiple smaller bites appeals to both large and small eaters. You feel satisfied after a sushi meal but rarely have that stuffed feeling you sometimes have with Belgian cuisine. Sushi is served in small, tasty portions that are at the same time pleasing to the eye. Being able to control how much you eat yourself is a big advantage.

10. Healthy

Traditional sushi has high nutritional value and is quite healthy. Unhealthy forms are more likely to be found in fast food restaurants, which often serve Western versions. Sometimes mayonnaise is added or ingredients are deep-fried. Moreover, hygiene is often lacking there. This, of course, detracts from the sushi tradition.
