Help Jenny & Daniel Bring Back Asahi Sushi

Many of you will know Jenny and Daniel, the kind, hardworking couple behind Asahi Sushi, the little sushi shop that has been at the heart of Whangārei town for many years. They’ve always welcomed everyone with warm smiles, kind words, and fresh, delicious food made with love.

Last week, an unexpected fire broke out, and in an instant, everything they had worked so hard for was gone. Their shop and their livelihood were left damaged and unable to open. They’re still in shock, trying to process everything while figuring out what to do next.

To make things even harder, they recently discovered that their shop had not been insured, something accidentally overlooked in the busyness of life. They only found out after the fire that they did not have coverage. Now they’re facing significant repair costs and a challenging road ahead before they can reopen.

They’ve been incredibly moved by all the messages, hugs, and aroha from customers and friends. Jenny says it’s that kindness that’s keeping them going right now.

If you’ve ever been greeted by Jenny’s smile, enjoyed one of their sushi rolls, or simply felt the warmth of their kindness, please consider helping them through this heartbreaking time. Every bit of support, no matter how small, will bring them one step closer to reopening their doors and rebuilding what they’ve lost.

Thank you so much for your love, kindness, and generosity.
