Japanese food company, Yutaka, has named a Sushi Cornish Pasty as the winner of its annual British sushi competition.

Each year, to celebrate International Sushi Day, www.yutaka.london holds a competition to find a new recipe that combines great British or European favourites with traditional Japanese sushi.

The pasty was created by former Cornish resident, Chandra Gilbert: ‘As a sushi fan, I often take any I’ve made that’s left-over to work, but, inevitably, the filling starts to escape. By making sushi into pasties, using nori sheets instead of pastry and creating a sushi rice salad, it provides the perfect way to take your sushi to work or on a picnic.’
