Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Sakura Blossom, a popular sushi restaurant in Cardiff, was struggling with maintaining the freshness of their extensive range of garnishes. Using temporary plastic film was wasteful and looked unprofessional, often failing to protect the ingredients during busy shifts.
"We take pride in our presentation, and flimsy cling film just wasn't cutting it. These Clover lids provide a perfect seal every time. Our garnish station looks incredibly organised now, and our ingredients are noticeably fresher at the end of a long service."
Yuki Sato – Head Sushi Chef
The switch to a proper yakumi garnish pan lid system resulted in a measurable reduction in food waste and noticeably faster prep times during peak hours.

- Before the first use, wash the lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

- Simply place it on top of the filled insert to cover the contents.
Keeping It Going
