Sushi has been synonymous with Japanese finesse and heritage — but in this age and time, even heritage can be reinvented. Haragome presents Japan’s latest food craze, fusing craftsmanship, imagination, and cultural warmth to every bite.
Born out of Tokyo and Fukuoka innovative kitchens of HUG Sushi, the Hug Roll is more than a dish — it’s a revolution that’s redefining how the globe enjoys sushi.
What Is a Hug Roll, Exactly?
It seems a little simple,at a first-glance-Hug Roll. But peer a little deeper, and you'll discover something very expressive — a subtle balance between contemporary flavor combinations and expressive storytelling.
Every roll has been created to not just be super tasty but to give you a sense of a “hug” — warmth, comfort, and affection. Rather than adhere to strict sushi protocols, Hug Rolls experiment with filling and textures: from soft creamy avocado and subtle tempura crunch to locally derived sauces that resonate globally.
Tradition Meets Creativity
Japanese food is respected for having traditions. The Hug Roll has that base — good rice, good seafood, harmony of umami — but brings a world beat.
While a classic maki roll may have to content itself with merely raw fish and rice, there are Hug Rolls which include other cuisine inspirations: truffle soy drizzle, spicy yuzu mayo, or as exotic as Mediterranean-style ingredients like grilled vegetable or herb-flavoured salmon.
This E×W blend embodies the spirit of contemporary Japan — flexible, fashionable, and tolerant.
A Worldwide Roll for Worldwide Flavours
With Hug Sushi now gaining international markets — offices in Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Dubai — the Hug Roll has become a flagship product to international viewers.
European diners value its presentation as an art form and lightweight ingredients, and North American consumers adore its strong flavors and compatibility. Every Hug Roll serves to be visually and flavor-fully pleasing , Instagram perfect, yet genuine to Japanese form.
