It’s not exactly known as the most portable picnic food.

But one Cork restaurant is giving sushi a grab-and-go makeover just in time for summer, with a quirky new creation designed for al fresco lunches.

Available exclusively from Brazilian-Japanese restaurant Egawa Sushi on Kyle Street, the aptly named Push Pop Sushi is served in a tube alongside a portion of soy sauce, allowing diners to enjoy their sushi on the move without the usual chopsticks-and-tray balancing act.

Part novelty, part convenience, the inventive take on sushi is already turning heads among Cork foodies looking for something a little different this summer.

When you’re ready to eat, you simply pour on your soy, use the container to push up the tube from the bottom and eat your pre-sliced sushi from the top – no mess, no sticky fingers.

Here’s a fun video showing how it works:
