<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the past 15 or so years there has been an explosion in the popularity of sushi across the UK. The biggest growth in the consumption of this Japanese cuisine has been in the capital city, where it enjoys a massive 40% of the market share. But why is sushi so popular in London?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A Healthy Meal</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5893" style="margin: 4px;" alt="sushi" src="https://medusamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sushi-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" />It has long been thought that sushi is far healthier than many other takeaway or restaurant meals. Low in fat and meat free, sushi is seen to be far better for you than a bowl of curry or a burger. If the average Japanese diet is compared with the average British diet, we don&#8217;t come off too favourably. On average, we Brits have a diet which has around 40% fat, compared with 30% in Japan. This lower fat diet is a contributory factor in Japan having one of the lowest levels of heart disease in the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to the low fat qualities of sushi dishes, it seems the constituent ingredients have been specifically selected for their super-food qualities, making sushi the Avengers of fast food. Fish used to make sushi is usually rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which have been linked to improved circulation and a healthy heart. Rice, one of the most important ingredients in sushi, is a great source of both energy and protein. Even wasabi, the horseradish like paste which give sushi its trademark kick, has been found in studies to both help prevent blood clots and lower the risk of certain types of cancer.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A Grab and go, or Restaurant Meal</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given that London is one of the busiest cities in the world, many people don&#8217;t often have the time to sit and wait for a meal to be cooked and prepared. This is especially true when it comes to lunchtime; in fact it is the midday meal which has provided sushi with its biggest spike in popularity in London.Sushi boxes can be pre-ordered, delivered or picked up at lunchtime with the minimum of time and fuss, leaving busy office workers free to do whatever it is they choose during their lunch break. Whether that is shopping, socialising or more realistically, sitting at your desk taking phone calls, the time is freed up when sushi is on the menu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If a sit-down meal is more appropriate, again sushi provides a fast and healthy option. Restaurants such as Yo Sushi have gained in popularity tremendously since they first arrived in the UK and provide an innovative and novel dining experience. Of course, if a more leisurely evening meal is the order of the day, there are plenty of sushi establishments that provide a fantastic introduction into Japanese culture.If you can&#8217;t get out to a restaurant or feel like bringing a taste of Japan home, there are an increasing number of top quality sushi restaurants who can deliver their wares to your door. If you&#8217;re looking for sushi delivery London is your best bet. Whilst there are restaurants across the country who offer home delivery, the capital has best coverage making it more than likely that you will be able to get freshly prepared sushi dishes delivered to your door.</p>
