Sushi Sakura
As the coming of spring promises new life, so the blooming of cherry blossoms brings a sense of vitality and vibrancy. At the same time, their short lifespan is a reminder that life is fleeting. This dish is a reminder to make our short lives meaningful, doing things we love the most and getting the most out of every single moment.
Why do they not teach us at schools that time is a finger snap and an eye blink, and that we shouldn’t allow a moment to pass us by without taking joyous, ecstatic note of it, not wasting a single moment of its swift, breakneck circuit?!
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Naz, the founder & creative director of GREEN & AWAKE. My greatest joy is creating something beautiful with the plants for people.
My food is inspired by my interest in Nordic ingredients and aesthetics, my connection to the Mediterranean, and my adventures in Asia. It’s ethical, rich in flavor and always loaded with love.
With a background in plant based gastronomy, digital marketing and graphic design I combined these experiences under my Green & Awake to foster plant based food through heart-centered leadership.
I bring healthy innovative ideas to the table in a playful way and work with both small and large companies in the food industry to help them make plant based food more visible and beautiful for a kinder world.
