Sushi fans get in line; a new offering is coming to town and shouting you lunch.
Cult Japanese-inspired artisan sushi store, Sushi Sushi is opening in Auckland this Thursday at the newly developed Botany Town Centre in Auckland.
The first 100 hungry punters through the door will enjoy a free hand roll, the store's signature offering.
For Kiwis, it will be the first taste of the 'Create Your Own Hand Roll Station', which has become popular across Australia.
The store promises celebrations will last a full month including children's sushi master classes, free Japanese calligraphy, and performances.
