British sushi favourite YO! is stepping into summer with a brand-new limited-edition It’s Game Time menu, blending iconic Japanese-inspired dishes with bold flavours from Mexico, the US and Canada.
Designed to bring a playful, high-energy twist to the dining experience, the menu is packed with unexpected flavour combinations – from katsu-style hot dogs to loaded poutine fries – all arriving just in time for a summer of sport, socialising and late-night food cravings.
Launching across UK restaurants from 9 June, the range is positioned as the ultimate alternative to traditional “beige” sports snacks.

Melanie Blatt Teams Up With YO! for Limited-Edition Katsu Sandwich
Headlining the launch is a special collaboration with singer and TV personality Melanie Blatt, who has partnered with YO! to create a signature Chicken Katsu Sandwich.
The dish features crispy chicken katsu, pickled red onion, cheese sauce and slaw, all served in a toasted brioche bun with miso mayo and Korean-style ketchup – plus a katsu curry dipping sauce on the side.
Blatt said:
“I’ve always loved YO!, so to be asked to collaborate was a dream come true. We’ve taken a classic YO! staple and given it a Mel’s makeover – turning the beloved chicken katsu into a dippable sandwich. It tastes so good, I can’t wait for everyone to try it.”
The limited-edition item also nods to her All Saints legacy with a playful “Never Ever be short on flavour” twist.
