In 1982, Miya's was the first sushi restaurant in Connecticut, [11] specializing in Kyushi-style recipes. With the creation of the sweet potato roll in 1995, Miya's began to create a plant-based sushi menu. [12] By the late 1990s, 80% of the sushi menu had been converted into a plant-based one, [13] and traditional sweetened white rice was replaced with a whole grain brown rice-based blend. In 2005, Miya's introduced its first invasive species menu, featuring locally caught invasive species such as Asian shore crabs and European green crabs. [14]
