Sushi Fresh is a Japanese sushi shop at 569 Barbadoes Street in St Albans, Christchurch, carrying a 4.8 rating on Google, with updates posted on its Facebook page.
Sushi looks simple, but the craft sits in two places: the rice and the turnover. Rice that is lightly vinegared, still faintly warm and keeping its shape matters as much as the fish on top, and the best shops make small batches through the day rather than letting boxes sit. For neighbourhood shops that tends to mean a lunchtime rush and early sell-outs, so arriving before the midday peak is the regular's trick. If you are new to a place, a mixed box of nigiri and maki tells you most of what you need to know.
For Japanese sushi in St Albans, Sushi Fresh on Barbadoes Street is a natural place to start.
