The Red Shell Difference

At Red Shell, we are taking retail sushi back to the day when sushi was a unique, niche delicacy versus a mass-produced mediocre commodity.  Our belief is that sushi is a special product that should represent the highest quality ingredients, sustainable and traceable seafood and be crafted by chefs who are well compensated with benefits and opportunity to advance within our organization.  Here is how we are DIFFERENT, and we think you'll like it!

Company Chefs-Our chefs are NOT franchisees; they work directly for Red Shell Sushi.  They are well paid and follow our direction to ensure consistency in product quality and operations.  Our focus is on full cases and constant attention to food safety.  Gone are the days of chefs leaving early with minimal product availability.  At Red Shell, we compensate our professional chefs well and reward them with full benefits and bonuses for doing a great job.

Clean Ingredients-We source the cleanest ingredients in the industry including nori, all-natural wasabi, all-natural ginger, clean sushi seasoning, gluten free soy sauce and short grain rice milled to our exacting specifications.  

Innovation in Freshness-We use advanced freezing technology to preserve peak freshness and flavor of our seafood, ensuring our sushi tastes as vibrant as the day it was made.  Our seafood is NEVER treated with CO (Carbon Monoxide) and the color remains a deep red, revealing the freshness.

Sustainable Sourcing-By prioritizing eco-friendly practices, we’re minimizing the environmental impact of our supply chain, setting a new standard for sustainability in the sushi industry.  Our tuna is caught with long lines and never farmed, and we use ONLY products approved by the stewards of the industry; MSC, BAP, ASC, GFSI, FISH WISE, TRACE REGISTER, GLOBAL TUNA ALLIANCE, ANIMAL WELFARE CERTIFIED and GLOBAL DIALOGUE on Seafood Traceability.

Customization & Flexibility-We design tailored sushi programs to meet the specific needs of each institution, offering customized solutions that adapt to market demands of your students.

Enhanced Food Safety-With rigorous safety protocols and full traceability, we ensure that every product adheres to the highest food safety standards from source to plate.

Program Offerings- At Red Shell, we don’t just make sushi—we craft tailored programs that seamlessly blend our deep Japanese heritage with innovative flavors and textures. Each program is designed with precision to meet the unique needs of our clients, delivering a culinary experience that excites customers and enhances their retail offerings. Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and creativity ensures that every sushi program we create is perfectly aligned with your goals.

Customized Culinary Bars- Our culinary bars bring customization and creativity to the forefront. With Build-Your-Own options like Hand Roll Bars, Poke Bars, Mix & Match, Sushi Tacos and so much more, we give your customers the freedom to design their own meals with high-quality ingredients and bold, exciting flavors. These interactive stations offer a unique experience that keeps customers coming back.

Hot Food & Bento Program- Move beyond sushi with our versatile Asian-Inspired Hot Food & Bento Program. Featuring traditional Japanese favorites like ramen, yakisoba, Donburi bowls, stir-fry options, as well as curated Bento Boxes filled with sushi, hot foods, and sides, this program offers a well-rounded, satisfying meal experience. Whether grab-and-go or made-to-order, each item is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bold flavors, perfect for creating a quick yet complete dining solution for your customers.

Dessert Delights- End the meal on a sweet note with our Authentic Japanese Dessert Program. From the light, creamy texture of Japanese cheesecakes to the chewy, satisfying bite of mochi, our desserts are the perfect blend of visual appeal and delicious taste, ensuring they delight customers and enhance your store’s reputation for quality.

Beverage Pairings- Our Refresh & Recharge Program complements your food offerings with freshly made Boba Tea and a variety of unique Asian beverages. These drinks add value to the overall customer experience, creating the perfect pairing for sushi or hot meals, and driving higher average purchase values through combo promotions.

Small Plates & Sides- Our Small Plates & Sides Program offers a selection of authentic Japanese appetizers that perfectly complement any sushi or hot food offering. From the light and refreshing flavors of sunomono (Japanese cucumber salad) to the rich textures of edamame, calamari salad and seaweed salad, these dishes add variety and depth to your menu. Each appetizer is carefully crafted to enhance the dining experience, balancing nutrition, taste, and traditional Japanese culinary techniques.
