Do you open the delivery menu and get lost in unfamiliar words? Maki, futomaki, tempura, baked... If you are just starting your acquaintance with Japanese cuisine at Sushi Market, this guide is for you! We will tell you how different types of rolls differ and help you choose the option that you will definitely like, whether you are in Podgorica, Bar or Novi Sad.
1. Cold (Classic) rolls This is the base of Japanese cuisine. Rice, nori, fresh fish, cream cheese, and vegetables. They do not undergo thermal treatment (except for cooking the rice, of course), so they retain maximum freshness and natural taste.
Who will like it: Lovers of fresh fish, light food, and clean flavors.
Where to start:«Philadelphia» roll (lots of salmon and cheese) or «California» (crab/shrimp, cucumber, tobiko roe).
2. Baked rolls (Warm & Cheesy) No, this is not fried fish! Baked rolls are cooked in a special grill. Their main feature is the "cap" on top. Usually, it is a mixture of cheese, roe, and a signature sauce, which becomes fragrant and stretchy when baked. The roll itself becomes warm and very tender.
Who will like it: Those who are wary of raw fish or simply love hearty, warm dishes.
Where to start: Try any roll marked «Baked» — it is true comfort food.
3. Tempura (Crunchy and hot) Tempura is a special type of batter. The roll is dipped in a light dough and quickly deep-fried in hot oil. The result is a hot roll with an appetizing crispy crust on the outside and a juicy filling inside.
Who will like it: Fans of crispy snacks, nuggets, and hot dishes. It is very filling!
Where to start:«Tempura with chicken» roll — the familiar taste of chicken and sauce in a new format.
