New sushi hotspot in the city: What can we expect in the Currypalast?

The traditional curry talace in Aachen, which was an integral part of the gastronomic scene for over six decades, had to close at the end of 2024. 25-year-old Santo Raschid now takes over the former restaurant and is planning to open a new restaurant that specializes in Sushi. Raschid has already successfully operated the "Santo-Sushi" restaurant on Trierer-Straße and has built up a considerable fan base of 35,000 followers and 3.6 million likes for its cooking video content thanks to its present online activity on Instagram and Tiktok. t-online.de reports that Sushi is to be served soon.

Despite the challenges associated with the takeover of an established location, Raschid is optimistic. The renovation work for the new restaurant is already in full swing, and the opening is planned for February 7, 2025. The concept is an "all you can eat" format that includes an open sushi kitchen and an extensive sushi buffet.

changes in the sushi market

Another interesting factor is the changing sushi market. According to Tastewise.io , statistical data show that 6.23% of the restaurants in Germany offer sushi on their menus, whereby the demand for vegan sushi options is also increasing. While classic ingredients such as fish and rice are still popular, consumers' preferences are increasingly changing, so that innovative ingredients such as avocado and algae are also mentioned. However, the classic preparation of sushi, which includes acidified rice and fresh ingredients, remains central to this culinary experience.

With the upcoming opening of Santo Raschid's sushi restaurant in Aachen, the city soon seems to enjoy these gastronomic trends. The new "All You Can Eat" concept could not only attract friends of Japanese cuisine, but also delight a young, dynamic audience who is looking for new taste experiences.
