Say Sayonara To Regular Sushi Rolls And Try These Open-Faced Temaki

Temaki is open-faced sushi hand rolls made from warm rice, crispy nori, and fresh seafood. Simply delicious...need I say more?

There are so many different types of Japanese food, from sashimi (thin slices of raw fish) to nigiri (fish on top of rice) to make (sushi rolled in seaweed). At Kamasu, you can try temaki, which is akin to a burrito in that the seaweed is wrapped around rice and fish. You certainly don't need chopsticks for this one!

The "Set of 7" at Kamasu features the best of all their temakis. Some of my favorites were Hotate (scallop, spicy mayo, tempura crisp), Toro (fatty tuna, oshinko, chives), Kanpachi (baby yellowtail, plum soy green apple), and Ebi (torched shrimp, yuzu mayo).

In addition to the temaki, the Tuna Tartare from the appetizer menu is a must order. Served with crispy nori chips, the fresh bluefin tuna is seasoned in sweet garlic soy and topped with caviar.

Kamasu also offers a variety of futomaki, or large rolled sushi. The Ebi Kanpachi, recommended by our server, featured baby yellowtail tartare with cucumber, pickle ginger, chives, avocado, tama arare, and shrimp tempura.

To finish the meal on a sweet note, the ice cream sandwich features sesame ice cream rolled in sesame and sandwiched in between crispy nori.
