Created by Toby of Unami Sushi & Asian Grill, the [vegan and vegetarian-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-momo) menu consists of 19 different Sushito flavors. Toby says, "We want our sushi to be known as a product that you can feel good eating.” Each sushi burrito roll consists of rice, fresh fish, veggies, cream cheese, tempura flakes, seaweed salad and your favorite sauces in a soy wrap. This quick service item makes for a [healthy alternative to fast food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-poke-bowls). The sushi burrito is a great spin-off of the traditional hand roll, however, it is enclosed in a soy wrap instead of seaweed. Mixing Mexican and Japanese cuisines has proven to become the next big thing for sushi. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sushi Burrito Hybrids:** The combination of sushi and burrito creates a new breed of quick service item. - **Ethnic Cuisine Fusion:** Combining traditional dishes with exotic recipes creates a unique blend of flavors. - **Healthy Fast Food:** Fast food can be healthy and delicious at the same time. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fast Casual Restaurants:** The concept of combining two different cuisines makes it an attractive option for fast food chains to innovate. - **Food Trucks:** It’s a perfect option for food trucks to tap into the fast and healthy food industry. - **Grocery Retailers:** Retailers can offer sushi burrito kits for customers to create their own sushi burritos and enjoy at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chili Crisp California Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-sushi-roll.md) - [Bread-Based Sushi Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughmakase.md) - [Convenient Sushi Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-bakes.md) - [Cajun-Asian Fusion Sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempura-shrimp-sushi-roll.md) - [Oven-Ready Sushi Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crushi.md) - [Hatch Chile Sushi Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-hatch-chile-chicken-sushi-roll.md) - [Square Spicy Tuna Sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-spicy-tuna-roll.md) - [Plant-Powered Sushi Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-sushi-course.md) - [Elevated Restaurant Sushi Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-experience.md)
