If you bring up Japanese cuisine, the first thing that most people think about is Sushi. This Japanese delicacy, which is easy to prepare but deceptively difficult to master, dates back centuries. However, its worldwide popularity is a more recent phenomenon. The sushi boom in the west led to the creation of new varieties such as the California Roll and Philadelphia Roll that appealed to a wider palate and further propelled its rise in popularity. If you are craving for Sushi, here are your best bets in Hyderabad.
Hashi, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad
A good sushi requires fresh and great quality ingredients as well as skilled chefs. This meant that sushi has largely been a hegemony of the star hotels. Hashi is the first casual dining in the city to emphasize on sushi and excel. It started off as a small kiosk and has since expanded into its own chic little place at Jubilee Hills and a counter at the popular food court The Joint. Besides Sushi, Hashi also serves a wide variety of terrific Dim sums.
