The year 2016 marks a very special year for Sushi King. The Japanese chain restaurant celebrates 21st year in Malaysia by making a special contribution of RM 21,000 to Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia to help 55 orphans residing in the children’s home.
The 21st-anniversary celebration was highlighted with a unique Fusion Cultural Drums performance by Malaysian Drum Symphony featuring kompang (frame drum) and Japanese taiko drums.
Added to that, a 70-foot maki roll also featured during the celebration by a team of Sushi King chefs.
The 70-foot maki roll was made using 18kg of rice, 4kg of cucumbers, 150 pieces of seaweed, 50 eggs, 180 kanikama fish cake sticks and 3kg of capelin roe. Later, the maki roll was cut up and distributed to patrons at Sunway Pyramid.
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Fumihiko Konishi, founder and executive of Texchem Resources Berhad, which owns Sushi King said during the celebration, “We are proud and honoured to be recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the largest sushi chain restaurant in Malaysia and with the support of Malaysians, we have been able to hold on to this record since 2000.”
He continued, “Thus, we want to share our happiness and blessings by giving to the less fortunate and also celebrating our love for Japanese.”
Established in 1995, Sushi Kin Sdn Bhd introduced sushi on the kaiten (conveyor belt) to Malaysia through its popular brand, Sushi King. The Japanese chain restaurant has expanded to 100 outlets and counting throughout the Klang Valley and covering almost every state across Malaysia.
