The Hub – Issue 5

As we slip into The Year of the Rat we have taken a moment in this issue to look back at some of the initiatives that Sushi Hub introduced around the country in 2019.  And if you were born under the sign of the Rat you are likely to be smart, a pioneer and at the forefront of the action, so with that in mind we have showcased some smart Australian inventions that have changed the world.

Australia has been called the “Lucky Country’ but it is also the clever country. Australians have invented numerous world-first devices we take for granted including: the black box flight recorder, plastic bank notes, the baby safety capsule, WiFi and even Google Maps.

In an often chaotic and flawed world, pausing to appreciate beauty can be therapeutic and calming.  Pause with us and contemplate the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi which finds beauty in imperfection.

The mention of good luck beans, conjures up images of the Jack and the Bean Stalk nursery rhyme. But in Japan, bean throwing to bring good luck during February’s Setsubun festival has been going for over a thousand years. While we are in “festival” mode we have brought you a preview of the internationally acclaimed festivals that will have Adelaide pumping for more than a month. If ever there was a reason to visit Adelaide, now’s the time to be planning a trip.

If it’s festival and party season – then it has to be Sushi Hub platter time. But you can’t make sushi without special seasoned sushi vinegar. We show you what is involved in making this unique ingredient. And we give you the heads-up on Sushi Hub’s own soon to be launched sushi-making starter kits.
