This doesn’t mean bad things as that sweetish riesling at $7 a glass meshes with a salmon sushi like a no-brainer. Brilliant in fact even though the sushi rice carriage crumbles a little. The choice of which sashimi or sushi fish is best on any day is perhaps worth leaving to Priscilla who on several visits has indicated excitedly the most recent and freshest delivery. That salmon she said had just arrived in the kitchen.

Jasons casts eye across the ditch
New Zealand Herald – Jun 4, 2008

The company was now “turning over stones” in its search for potential Australian acquisitions. Jasons currently owns a holding company in Australia under the same name which prints a Queensland accommodation guide Tasmania guide and a number of route maps. Joyce said its focus was on further developing its web presence in Australia and it was looking for complementary businesses involved in either web or print. He said it saw a strong synergy across the Australian and New Zealand markets and wanted to tap into the large number of independent tourists which often looked for information and made bookings online rather than going through a travel agent. The company said it was expecting further growth in both revenue and profits in 2009. However it warned there could be tougher times ahead.
