Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many who are stuck at home diverted our energy to our barely tapped kitchen hobbies, paving the way for several food trends! Over the past few months, we saw the rise of dalgona coffee, ube cheese pandesal, and the like.

The latest craze? Sushi bakes. But instead of rolls or nigiri, it is baked in a pan and you eat it by taking a spoonful and wrapping it in a piece of nori. It’s like a baked sushi casserole! If you have no kitchen skills or time but you want to give this mouthwatering creation a try, here are some places where you can get it.

Kurimi Sushi Bakes

Kurīmī is the Japanized form of the word “creamy”, just like how Kurimi Sushi Bakes make their version of baked sushi. They started selling baked sushi online when it became a trend, but they made sure they offer something different.

Kurimi’s sushi bakes are made with kani mix, cheese sauce, along with the usual ingredients. Aside from that, they give customers an option to customize their baked sushi by having add ons and options like making it spicy, with less cheese sauce or torched. Kurimi’s baked sushi comes in 4 different tray sizes.
