Wasabi Sushi & Bento

We are delighted to welcome King William Street to the Wasabi estate. At the opening yesterday, we gave away goodie bags to the first 100 customers and here you can see customer number 1 who was delighted with his loot (and his lunch)! After completing numerous restaurant refurbishments in the last 12 months, King William Street is the first new site opening for some time and we couldn't be happier. Not only is it a beautiful restaurant in a cracking location, moments from Monument Tube Station, but it was also a demonstration of exceptional teamwork from departments across the business. Well done to all involved! Henry Birts H. Ashton Crosby Abe Matamoros Niels Carl A. Lorijn John Buckingham David Dunne Kate Lucas Gunhee Lee

We have entered into a strategic partnership with The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the UK’s food allergy charity, helping to support the organisation’s goal to #MakeAllergyHistory. Our CEO Henry Birts says: “At Wasabi, we recognise the dangers faced by people living with food allergies, and allergen management is a critical element of our food safety and quality processes. We actively minimise allergens in our food where we can and where this is not possible, we ensure there are robust controls in place to prevent allergen cross-contamination and that our products are labelled correctly. We look forward to the learning and improvement opportunity this partnership will bring to the Wasabi team, and are delighted to be working with The Natasha Foundation to help them fulfil their ambition to #MakeAllergyHistory”. 

🌍 Taking Action for a Greener Future 🌱 We’re proud to announce our commitment to net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and have made a huge step forward by switching from brown gas to green gas! So, what is the difference? Green gas is released when food or other natural waste biodegrades, it’s virtually carbon neutral as when it’s burnt, the carbon released is equivalent to the carbon that was absorbed by the matter when it was growing. Brown gas, also known as natural gas, is a non-renewable fossil fuel that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is contributing to climate change. By switching to green gas, we are not only taking action to reduce global warming, but we are also supporting British farmers, as green gas can help provide a greater long-term financial security without damaging the environment. One BIG step closer to net zero! 🌎💚 #NetZero #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Yesterday, from London to Leeds our people mobilised to launch not one but two national campaigns, both in different ways, a first for Wasabi. The Wasabi family team spirit was as strong as ever.    Our Korean BBQ Katsu Sando landed on the shelves. The Sando “sandwich” in Japanese sees the introduction of a brand-new category within our hot menu.  Made with succulent chicken coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs, Asian slaw, tucked between two slices of light, fluffy Japanese Shokupan-style bread and a lip smacking BBQ dip – you’ll be back for more.   Wasabi Rewards went live yesterday. We are excited to be able to reward our customers for their loyalty, in a new way, available exclusively via the new Wasabi Sushi & Bento app. Find out more about Wasabi Rewards here: https://lnkd.in/gh-SW4mk

Such an exciting week at Wasabi. We are all buzzing!!! And stuffed full of delicious Chicken Katsu Sando… utterly yum

This is why Wasabi has decided to work with The Felix Project, donating our surplus food. The Felix Project rescue good food from becoming waste and divert it to people most in need and, as a result of this partnership, over the last 12 months Wasabi has: - donated 16.66 tonnes of surplus food - shared 39,810 meals - supported 152 community organisations We're proud to be able to contribute towards ending London's hunger and winning the fight against food waste.
