As seasoned food trend trackers, we recently spotlighted the sushi taco—a bold Los Angeles mashup of Japanese and Mexican flavors. Now, enter the sushi donut: a simple yet artful creation. Start with a ring of sushi rice stuffed with avocado, tuna, or crab, then top it with premium Japanese staples like salmon, ginger, cabbage, avocado, masago, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Creativity reigns supreme!
We first spotted the sushi donut on the Instagram of Australian vegan chef Sam Melb (@so.beautifully.real), boasting over 300,000 followers. Her recipe sparked massive buzz, inspiring spots worldwide. In California, Project Poke showcases stunning versions, as featured in an Insider video on their Instagram. The trend has also thrilled diners in Canada, Indonesia, and Italy. France, are you next? We're eager to try it firsthand!
