At Blue, we are proud to offer a wide variety of vegan options. Not only do they allow our guests to savor some delicious plant-based goodness, but our selection also expresses our ongoing dedication to sustainability and our commitment to positive change within the seafood industry. Below, we reflect on our philosophy of incorporating vegan options into our menus.

A Conscious Effort

When Blue Sushi Sake Grill first began to expand, we found it crucial to step back and assess our global operations, specifically identifying areas where our efforts could make a meaningful and sustainable impact. For us, that focus honed in on seafood, and addressing the visible consequences the sushi industry was inflicting on our oceans. Having witnessed some of these impacts firsthand, we recognized the need to take responsibility, reduce our carbon footprint, and actively pursue a role as a driving force for positive change in the seafood industry.

This commitment has driven us to collectively strategize, align ourselves, and collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. An organization that has played a crucial role in helping us shape policies that effectively address and mitigate our carbon footprint on our oceans ecosystems. Such initiatives which we have to thank for introducing us into the world of vegan sushi! Delicious while innovative solutions that signify our proactive stance in combating the ecological challenges posed by traditional sushi practices such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution.

Our Approach

As we continue to explore the evolving landscape of vegan food trends, our journey is guided by a commitment to continuous learning and education. We believe that crafting delicious vegan sushi is an art of exploration and an open-minded spirit, which is why our team aspires to stay on top of the latest food trends not just as followers, but pioneers in the growing vegan maki movement. Our focus is on prioritizing the simplicity and authenticity of our rolls, ensuring they not only capture the sensations of traditional seafood but can stand alone as unique creations. By manipulating flavors straight from raw ingredients, we also ensure the pureness of our rolls, allowing us to accommodate to diverse audiences who come to our restaurants with various tastes, preferences, as well as dietary restrictions.

A Collective Journey

The creativity and variety infused into our rolls is a direct result of meaningful collaborations we've cultivated over the years. We've partnered with organizations that not only respect our craft but also share in our passion for innovation. Take for instance our collaboration with Caviart, a company specializing in seaweed caviar products whose commitment for sustainability aligns seamlessly with ours. Being able to connect with like-minded individuals and groups who are eager to share their own products and innovations has played a huge role in helping us shape such a vibrant community that continues to push for positive change in the industry. These collaborations and partnerships have been a highlight of our journey and a driving force that sets us apart.

So, thank you for celebrating our shared commitment of enacting positive change and fostering a brighter, plant powered future, and for being a part of this transformative experience with us at Blue Sushi Sake Grill. Here's to tasty dishes, mindful choices, and the joy of embracing the vegan lifestyle!
