Part of the Caucasus highlighting Asian cuisine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sushi

'cuisine' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Japanese cuisine ' mean 'sushi' so perhaps 'cuisine' could also mean 'sushi')

'part of the caucasus highlighting asian' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'SUSHI' can be found hidden inside 'caucasus highlighting asian'.

(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "Japanese cold rice dish" , "'Dish of rice, vegetables and raw fish (5)'" , "Oriental food" , "Asian dish" , "fare from Japan" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
