# Western Breakfast Sushi Sushiro Reinvents the Traditional Egg Sushi with a Twist By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-07-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-sushi References: [en.rocketnews24](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/07/21/when-east-meets-west-rice-omelet-sushi-available-for-a-limited-time-at-sushiro/) & [mumuiz.blog40.fc2](http://mumuiz.blog40.fc2.com/blog-entry-1820.html) Egg sushi is commonly served in Japan as a square piece of egg secured over a ball of rice by a small seaweed belt—but [Sushiro's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-thunder) newest sushi dish updates this with a fun twist. [Omurice is a traditional dish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-pancake) that uses an omelette to encase a bed of rice. Sourcing this as half of the inspiration for the unique sushi dish, the Japanese restaurant introduced Omurice Sushi, prepared in the same way and served with a traditional drizzle of ketchup on top. To make this dish even more novel, Sushiro's creation includes a meat sauce filling. Although sushi is most sought-after as a lunch or dinner item, this novel item on the child menu at Sushiro makes it perfectly acceptable to eat at almost any time of the day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Breakfast Sushi:** Innovative fusion of traditional breakfast and sushi presents an opportunity for creative menu offerings in the food industry. - **Meat-filled Sushi:** Inclusion of meat filling in sushi introduces a new range of sushi options and provides an opportunity for innovation in the sushi industry. - **Child Menu Innovations:** Incorporation of interesting and fun dishes on the child menu presents an opportunity to attract more customers and increase revenue in the food and restaurant industry. ### Where This Applies - **Food Industry:** The food industry has an opportunity to create unique and fusion dishes inspired by traditional breakfast and sushi, and elevate sushi dish options by including meat fillings. - **Restaurant Industry:** The restaurant industry can innovate further by introducing exciting and fun dishes in their child menu offerings to attract and retain customers. - **Culinary Arts Industry:** Opportunities for culinary arts professionals to experiment with new flavor profiles and create innovative dishes that blend traditional breakfast and sushi ingredients together. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Salmon-Centric Breakfast Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggslut-japan.md) - [Elevated Sushi Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kura-sushi-1.md) - [Japanese-Style Egg Salad Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanesestyle-egg-salad-sandwich.md) - [Convenient Sushi Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-bakes.md) - [Oven-Ready Sushi Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crushi.md) - [Pregnancy-Safe Sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanetsu-sushi.md) - [Soft-Boiled Egg Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wafu-hanjuku-tsukimi-zeppin-cheesenburger.md) - [Fried Egg Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunriser-breakfast-sandwich-made-with-a-fried-egg.md) - [Savory Onigiri Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onigiri-croissant.md)
