Sushi for beginners: which rolls to start with

Ordering sushi for the first time is always exciting. Japanese cuisine may seem complex and multifaceted. However, exploring it can be a true discovery. To ensure your first sushi order is pure pleasure, it is best to start with proven classics. We have prepared a guide to the best rolls for beginners. These rolls combine familiar flavors with delicate textures.

three steps to your first order
To avoid getting lost in the menu, choose rolls without exotic ingredients. Focus on soft textures and creamy bases.
  • Start with «Inside-Out» Rolls (Uramaki). The rice is on the outside, and the nori seaweed is inside. This softens the strong flavor of the seaweed.
  • Look for Cream Cheese. Rolls like "Philadelphia" have a familiar and pleasant creamy taste.
  • Choose Cooked Fillings. If you are wary of raw fish, start with rolls featuring shrimp or smoked salmon.

classic rolls — the perfect start
Here is a list of classic rolls that guarantee a successful introduction to sushi:
  • «Philadelphia» Roll: The absolute favorite for beginners. It combines delicate cream cheese with fresh salmon. A light, creamy, and very straightforward taste.
