Japanese Cuisine Pink Ginger

Best sushi I’ve ever had.
Spicy salmon and cooked salmon are a must try as are the sushi rolls wrapped in egg instead of seaweed. Everything tastes really fresh and delicious :)

Pink Ginger is the first (and hopefully not the only) Sushi restaurant that I have found that uses brown rice in their Sushi rolls rather than the usual gluggy white rice that is traditionally used in Japanese cuisine. Maybe being situated right outside the doors of the popular health club Fitness First has something to do with the healthier change in rice type. Whatever the reason it definitely works, the Sushi is amazing, they have all your usual favourites like Chicken Teriyaki, Smoked Salmon, Seaweed and Tuna as well as a selection of other Japanese main dishes like BBQ Curry, Katsudon and Beef Teriyaki. The staff are smiling and friendly making Pink Ginger the perfect place to stop off for a quick and healthy snack or maybe a before workout energy boost!

Situated just outside Fitness First South Yarra is a tiny little Japanese place called Pink Ginger. Because of its location, it means two things. 1) There will always be a constant stream of fit, gym-​lover type people there and 2) the food caters to health freaks.
So if healthy eating is your thing, Pink Ginger is the place for you. Naturally, they have a wide array of brown rice sushi available. If you haven’t already tried this healthier version of this Japanese classic then you might as well give it a go at Pink Ginger because if anyone knows how to do brown rice well, they do!
They also have a good range of affordable Bento boxes that range in price from $ 8 to $ 13 and the portions are pretty good — big enough to keep you satisfied but not too big that you have to waste food. Oh and having the gym-​enthusiasts right there means lots of eye candy at lunch time.
