What's the best type of sushi roll?

Question

I'm not a big fish person but I am going to Japan next year and in lieu of eating McDonalds for the entire time, I want to enjoy the food but I want to get an idea of what I'm going to eat first. Can someone recommend sushi rolls that are milder on the palate?

Answer 1

Japanese food is more than just sushi.
You have brothy dishes like sukiyaki...
Fried foods like tempura, tonkatsu...
Noodle dishes... udon, yakisoba, soba...
Grilled foods... terriyaki.

You really won't need to go to McD's even if you avoid sushi...

In terms of sushi, just look at the displays and pictures to decide. I like Unagi which is broiled and has a light glaze on it.

Answer 2

There is a "hand-roll" which, after preparation, looks like a seaweed funnel. The one my wife enjoys the most (because it is mild, not fishy & isn't raw) is called a spider roll. It contains rice, some nice traditional veggies and a fried soft-shelled crab. The legs of the crab stick out of the roll and resemble a spider. This one, if you want to make a meal of it, is also assembled as a traditional sushi roll.

If you're feeling a little more adventurous try an couple pieces of Hamachi...which is Yellow tail served raw on a little mound of rice. Also, ask for ponzu sauce which is like a citrus infused soy sauce. The hamachi is very mild and dipping it in the Ponzu sauce will make it not only palatable, but yummy!

Enjoy your trip.

in Japan, you will NOT find any of the so-called "sushi" you see here in North America, no California rolls, rainbow rolls, dragon rolls, etc. trust me, i've been to Japan before. you can get sushi bento boxes on the basement of department stores, and they usually contain raw fish (salmon, tuna, ect) . . . you can also get sushi at the conveyor-belt restaurants (where the plates of food actually rotate on a conveyor belt and you just pick what you like from there). They have egg on rice and also shrimp, if you don't want to eat anything raw.

but Japanese cuisine is so much more than sushi! there are a ton of things to try, like sukiyaki, tempura (Tsunahachi is the best), ramen and the "don" (rice bowl with various toppings/ingredients) at fast-food places. there are a lot of food options once you get into the tourism district of Japan, so you shouldn't worry about having to find somewhere to eat.

and a tip - usually at closing time, department stores and other sushi restaurants in subway stations sell their bento boxes at a discounted price.

for the period of my first year of transition to vegetarianism i might nevertheless devour fish and fowl, yet once I left those final 2 conduct at the back of i did no longer decide to depart my loved sushi, the final situation to do is ask in the event that they have any veggie rolls. additionally, seek for a sushi dish that has one variety of meat in it and ask in case you will get that roll yet in basic terms without the beef. i decide to advise you get the Vegas roll, it has one variety of meat (keep in mind ask in case you've got that dish yet without the beef) it additionally has avocado, cucumber, cream cheese and that's "tempura" meaning breaded and fried. that's scrumptious, in basic terms ask for it without the beef...exceptionally much everywhere you flow they'll attempt to artwork with what you ask for, on occasion I ask for the veggie roll fried and that they do it. ?

Answer 5

you'd really enjoy all types of sushi there.
raw fish(nigiri sushi) or deka maki(tuna; maguro inside) taste actually is very mild, you'd like it just easy on wasabi.
vegan rolls are available for all maki sushis
ura maki( california roll - inside out ; nori is inside, rice is outside)
hutomaki( thick one usually 3or 4 different fillings)
hosomaki (thin put only one filling)
if you are in osaka try hako sushi, okonomiyaki(kinda vegetable pancake literally means 'whatever you like' you pick what you want, prepare and cook yourself and eat)
not just sushi, but try soba, udon, shabshab, donburi, and street vendor foods.
hiyashi juka too, well why don't you try this one today? :)easy to fix.

udong or ramen noodle. cook in the boiled water and rinse throroughly (icy cold), drain.

sliced cucumber, any vegetable sliced and ham
cooked shrimp or chicken breast (optional)
(whatever is in your refridge)

sugar 1/2 ts

Get rolls with smoked eel in them. My personal favorite is a dragon roll with a avocado outside.

Answer 8

salmon rolls are the best! or if raw fish makes you queasy try crabstick rolls or the more common california roll. i do suggest that since you're in japan try all the different sashimi's since they can't get any better than in japan.

Answer 9

Temaki
Temakizushi (literally: hand rolls) are cones made of nori seaweed and filled with sushi rice, seafood and vegetables.
