Popular Japanese conveyor belt sushi chain Sushiro has launched a surprise promotion for dessert lovers in Hong Kong. For a limited two-week period, the restaurant is offering its signature chestnut Mont Blanc cake at a significantly reduced price of just $10. This unexpected discount accompanies the release of the brand’s highly anticipated April “Sankan Matsuri” menu, bringing a wave of affordable dining options to branches across the city.
A Sweet Deal for Dessert Enthusiasts
Starting immediately and running until May 4, Sushiro has slashed the price of its popular Mont Blanc cake from the original $22 to a mere $10, representing a substantial saving of $11 per piece. The dessert is characterized by its rich flavor profile, utilizing a blend of Italian chestnuts and sweet chestnuts to create a dense, aromatic purée. Filled with chunks of chestnut, the cake offers a textured eating experience that has made it a fan favorite. The promotion is available at all Sushiro locations, though the chain has indicated that quantities are limited and availability is subject to stock, suggesting that interested patrons should act quickly to avoid disappointment.
April’s “Sankan Matsuri” Highlights Value and Variety
Beyond the dessert promotion, Sushiro officially unveiled its April limited menu on April 2, headlined by the “Sankan Matsuri” series. This lineup focuses on high-value combinations, allowing diners to sample three pieces of sushi from the same category on a single plate, with prices starting as low as $10. This “three-piece” concept is designed to offer a comprehensive tasting experience of specific flavor profiles.
Key offerings in the April series include:
- Tuna Trio ($39): A premium selection featuring black tuna fatty toro, large fin tuna belly, and bluefin tuna with scallion. Note: Availability may vary by location.
- Shellfish Trio ($27): A combination of boiled clam, large ark shell, and seared scallop, offering a mix of tender and crisp textures.
- Beef Trio ($22): A meat-heavy plate comprising seared beef tongue, salted steak, and beef brisket.
- Coriander Spicy Shrimp Trio ($22): A bold option mixing salmon, red shrimp, and squid with a distinctive spicy sauce and fresh coriander.
- Squid Trio ($17): Features squid, red squid fin, and swordtip squid.
- Salad Gunkan Trio ($10): The most accessible option, featuring tuna, corn, and crab stick—a combination particularly popular with younger diners.
Collaborations and Seasonal Specials
Expanding beyond sushi, the April menu also features a collaboration with the renowned Hokkaido ramen shop “Ramen Shinsen.” Diners can now enjoy a Hokkaido Rich Miso Ramen for $35, characterized by a deep broth blending pork bone, two types of miso, and vegetables. Other notable additions to the menu include Raw Bamboo Shrimp Nigiri ($12), Flounder Fin Edge ($10), and a premium Abalone with Liver Tempura set ($88). For a final course, the new Cookie Ice Cream Affogato ($27) provides a layered dessert option combining coffee jelly, cookie cream ice cream, and Italian shaved ice.
With the combination of a flash sale on the Mont Blanc dessert and a robust lineup of value-driven sushi sets, Sushiro aims to solidify its position in Hong Kong’s competitive dining market. Diners are advised to visit their nearest branch soon to take advantage of the $10 cake offer before the promotion concludes on May 4.
