Sushi King, Malaysia’s largest Japanese chain restaurant today celebrated its 21 years in Malaysia by giving back to Malaysians in a uniquely Malaysian event. The celebration saw Sushi King making a special contribution of RM21,000 to children’s home Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia to help support the 55 orphans residing in the home.
The donation was handed over by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Fumihiko Konishi, Founder and Executive Chairman of Texchem Resources Berhad, which owns Sushi King, to Dato’ Faridah Omar Shah, the Founder and Chairman of Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia.
The celebration also featured the creation of a 70-foot maki roll by a team of Sushi King chefs, led by Head Chef Takeshi Torita. Joining in the rolling process was Tan Sri Konishi, Akihiko Hijioka, President & COO of Texchem Restaurant System, 30 personnel from Texchem Restaurant System, local personalities Izzue Islam, Kamal Adli, Sazzy Falak, Cha Cha Maembong, Elizabeth Tan and Ammar Titan, Dato’ Faridah and a team of five personnel and 20 children from the home, and representatives from the Islamic Development Department (JAKIM).
You’re probably wondering, what are the ingredients used to make the 70-foot maki roll. The 70-foot maki roll was made using 18kg of rice, 4kg of cucumbers, 150 pieces of seaweed, 50 eggs, 180 kanikama fish cake sticks and 3kg of capelin roe. It’s certainly an amazing feat and once the maki roll was completed, it was distributed to patrons at Sunway Pyramid, to thank all Malaysians for supporting Sushi King. Let’s look forward to more Halal certified Sushi King outlets next year!
