ABOUT US
Our History
The story of Sushi and More started with the opening of our first outlet in Mumbai in May 2011. But in fact, the adventure started way back in 1995. Harry Hakuei Kosato visited India for the first time then. Back then, and even around the year 2007 when Harry landed here to make Mumbai one of his homes, no one thought it was possible to do sushi properly in India. Our wish was to show India and the world that our team would be capable of doing such a business, small as it may be. So we have done it. Despite the odds, we have somehow survived all these years. 90% of restaurants fail in the first year, and the remaining have an average five-year life span. Thanks to the support extended by thousands of our happy Indian customers over many years, we are still here today. And we hope to continue to serve India for decades into the future, much longer than the person who said “Don’t do it, don’t even think about it, it won’t work!”
As the Japanese saying goes: Naseba naru nasaneba naranu nanigoto mo “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
Sushi and More serves simple, fresh, affordable, authentic, healthy and really tasty Japanese sushi dishes. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarians options are offered. We have also prepared other popular Japanese dishes including salads, carefully designed for our Indian customers. We do lots of things around sushi and Japanese food and culture in India. We cater to Indian weddings with thousands of guests; run sushi-cooking courses; have organised sushi competitions and food festivals; educated budding chefs who have gone on to promising international careers, and have served celebrities and more, in the privacy of their homes.
Sushi and More is thus India’s first and largest independently run Japanese food delivery and take-away business in India. We operate 9 outlets across the 3 cities of Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram (as of 15th June 2022).
