With Christmas fast approaching, UK sushi favourite YO! Sushi is getting into the festive spirit with a brand‑new menu of seven limited‑edition dishes, launching from 11th November.
Forget turkey and trimmings this year – YO! is turning Christmas dinner on its head. The line‑up features a mouth‑watering mix of Japanese favourites with a classic Christmas twist. From the all‑new JFC, to the first‑ever Tempura Christmas Wrap, it’s festive favourites reimagined the YO! way.
A new twist on Christmas dining
In typical fashion‑forward style, the brand reworks beloved holiday flavours into sushi‑style fare and Japanese street‑food favourites. For a hit of sweetness to finish, YO! includes the Mince Pie Cream Puff – a light, dusted choux bun filled with white chocolate cream and hidden pockets of classic Christmas mincemeat.
And to toast the season, the Boba Bellini combines prosecco with strawberry purée and boba, finished with a raspberry sugar rim – the perfect way to sip into sleigh season!
If you’re craving something a little more classic, customers can also take away or get delivered a Christmas Tree Platter, full of YO! favourites, including the Crunchy Cali Roll and Dynamite Salmon Roll. Get ready for a total YO! Christmas takeover.
