Review: I’m not sure if this invention is unique to Orange, but this was my first introduction to Frushi. Frushi is derived and named from fruit and sushi. Luckily, the only sushi component used in Frushi is the sticky rice. Thin slices and small chunks of fresh fruit laid on top or stuffed inside of sweet sticky rice make up this ingenious and cute dish.
The fruits used change with the seasons and you never know what you are going to get when you order it. Our plate came with pineapple chunks inside of rice rolls and sliced kiwi atop rice chunks. Two pieces of each variety come served on a standard white sushi plate with chocolate sauce drizzled in the middle for dipping. On one side, there were thin cantaloupe slices made to look like the ginger you receive with traditional sushi. On either side of the melon were two small slices of a grape.
Even if the fruits used are not to your liking (luckily, kiwi & pineapple are two of my favorites), the presentation of Orange’s Frushi plate make this dish worthwhile. Colorful and symmetrical, Frushi is the perfect preamble to your greasy breakfast.
