Here at ichiban UK, we pride ourselves on the high quality of the sushi we produce and believe customers should have the best possible product. Our view is that this should never be compromised, therefore we have a dedicated team of Quality Assessors working round the clock to ensure all our products meet the high standards we have in place. Our site maintains BRC AA Accreditation as well as a 5 star EHO food safety rating.
Japanese authenticity is at the heart of everything we do at ichiban. We use traditional Japanese methods in the production of our sushi, topping all our nigiri blocks by hand so that every topping is placed accurately and neatly on the block of rice. Last year we topped 21 million nigiri blocks, all done by hand!
A company with creativity at the core of our values, our enthusiasm for bringing innovative sushi products to the market never fades. We are proud to have received customer awards for our development work, and for our products themselves; but the real award lies in seeing our products being enjoyed by consumers across the country. Our team work with a customer focused and creative attitude to develop products that give an innovative and Western twist on traditional Japanese sushi. We believe in working together with our suppliers to bring new and exciting products into the sushi market.
