Avocado
【Can it supplement nutrients that vegans and vegetarians tend to lack?】
Avocados contain approximately 0.8g of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids per 100g.
【Features】
Avocados are highly nutritious, particularly rich in vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids, making them popular among health-conscious individuals.
【Sushi】
Avocado's melt-in-your-mouth texture closely resembles that of fatty tuna or salmon, making it an excellent sushi topping. Its rich, mellow texture and flavor soften the acidity and sweetness of vinegared rice, creating a perfectly balanced overall taste.
【Umami Components】
Avocado's umami primarily comes from its abundant fats (especially unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid) and compounds that transform during ripening. These elements create a rich, buttery depth and intense flavor.

Obinori・Wasabi
Vitamin B12 is not found in most plant-based foods, making deficiency particularly common in diets like veganism that exclude animal products. One sheet of nori (210×190: approx. 3g) contains 1.74μg of vitamin B12, covering a large portion of the 2.4μg daily recommended intake for adult men and women. In this omakase course, consuming approximately 1g of nori means about 0.6μg was supplemented.
【Allergies】
Avocado allergies are possible in infants, children, and adults. If you have an avocado allergy, you may want to be cautious when consuming avocado oil. This oil is produced from the meat of the fruit (not the seeds or the skin) but allergies to avocado meat are not uncommon.
Allergy and immunology medical experts have established that avocado has a broad cross-reactivity with many other foods. Allergic reactions can simply occur by air-borne allergens (dust, pet hair, pollen) with related molecular structures to food-derived allergens cross-reacting. So if you have an allergy to other foods such as bananas or kiwis, you may want to undergo testing to determine if you have a reaction to avocado or avocado oil.
