Sushi lovers rejoice!
The Durban Sushi and Wine Festival is finally happening this weekend.
Happening for the very first time in the city, the festival promises a mouth-watering experience, from sushi, seafood, vegan food, desserts and fantastic wines.

He says goers can expect sushi stands by Ocean Basket in North Beach, Yang Chinese Restaurant, dragon Sushi Lounge and Catering, D’urban Burger Co which will supply sushi burger sliders must to name a few.
For desserts, he says there will be stands by Plan B Dessertery and sweet Dreams ice-cream and for drinks there will be a gin bar by Flowstone African Bush Botanicals Gin, a wine bar by Durban Street Food Festival, a craft stand by GiNsane, a tasting stand by Qualito Craft Distillery, a fresh avo stand by Body Lovers Nutrition and a Mobile Coffee Cafe for any occasion.
Krestos says the festival is a passion project for him as he has a huge obsession with Japanese food and culture.
