Tel Aviv celebrated the opening of its 100th sushi restaurant, and thus became the third largest sushi market in the world (in per capita terms) behind New York and Tokyo. Thus, Ben Gurion’s dream of a cultural melting pot has been replaced with a sushi platter of trendy, cultural diversity. Not to worry, an Israeli influence can still be felt, as approximately 20% of said restaurants are kosher.
Tel Aviv isn’t alone: new sushi restaurants can be seen sprouting up everywhere around Israel, from the Golan Heights to Eilat. With Japanese cuisine constituting the fastest growing sector, more and more people are moving the gefilte fish aside for some savory hosomaki.
