The originator of family-friendly sushi dining in the region, Sumo Sushi & Bento is celebrating Japan’s famous cherry blossom festival season with delicious dishes and will emulate the tradition of Sakura viewers celebrating the season by eating, drinking and coming together to welcome the beginning of spring.
To mark the Sakura cherry blossom festival, Sumo Sushi & Bento is launching a new sumo signature item ‘Gozen Samurai’ (lady Samurai) inspired by Gozen, also known as the female warrior samurai. The dish is promoted on Women’s Day on 8 March and 21 March on Mother’s Day as an exclusive Sumo Mobile app campaign.
Sumo Sushi & Bento diners can also enjoy similar dishes that are popular in the Sakura season in the UAE. The dishes include Sakura Roll, Inari Sushi, Futo Maki, Mochi, Wagyu Steak Roll, Chirashi Bento and a drink called Pink. Additionally, female mobile app members can save by getting a classic bento at 25 per cent off when they buy the Gozen Samurai dish from 8 March to the 21 for dine-in, takeaway and delivery orders.
Jerome Mortel, COO, Sumo International Inc. LLC, said: “We are delighted to present dishes inspired by the Japanese custom of flower viewing known as hanami, just in time for Cherry Blossom season and we are excited to introduce a new dish to celebrate the ladies and mothers since the season coincides with Women’s Day and Mother’s Day. We hope to keep our diners engaged by tempting them with new innovative dishes to celebrate the different festivals and milestones in their life.”
