Sushi Mart is a Japanese sushi shop at 5 Coppell Place in Hillmorton, on the Cashmere side of Christchurch, holding a 4.7 Google rating and posting updates via its Facebook page, SushiMartChch. As regulars of New Zealand's suburban sushi counters know, the test is in the rice: properly seasoned with vinegar and served at room temperature rather than fridge-cold, so the grains stay glossy and hold together without turning dense. Turnover matters just as much — counters that make small batches through the day usually beat the ones that fill one big cabinet at dawn. Busy lunch hours often mean the freshest rolls, and asking what was made most recently rarely hurts. For Hillmorton and Cashmere locals after sushi close to home, Sushi Mart sits right on Coppell Place.
