Apple sushi is an original interpretation of Japanese cuisine that harmoniously combines fruity freshness with traditional rice flavor. This dessert, inspired by the principles of Japanese gastronomy, offers a delicate blend of slightly sweet rice with the sweet-and-sour notes of apples and strawberries. The history of such fruit sushi begins with culinary experiments where traditional dishes were adapted to new taste preferences. Apple sushi is served with a light mint aroma that gives it a special freshness, while green onions add a subtle contrast. This dish is perfect as an elegant dessert or an unusual appetizer, surprising with its balance of textures and flavors.
