The Art of Umami: Types of Sushi and Rolls

Umami is often called the "fifth taste." This flavor can be described as pleasant, savory, and meaty. The perfect balance of umami is the key to exquisite sushi. Japanese cuisine, especially sushi, masterfully utilizes umami. For this, fermented products and seafood are used. We will tell you about the key types of sushi and rolls. You will be able to choose the perfect dish for yourself.

Main Categories of Sushi
The term "sushi" is very broad. It includes many different forms and techniques. It is important to distinguish between the main types of dishes. This will help you navigate the menu better.
Main traditional types of sushi:
  • Nigiri: A small mound of rice. A slice of fish or seafood is placed on top. For example, Nigiri Tamago (Japanese omelet).
  • Maki (Makizushi): Classic rolls wrapped in nori seaweed. The filling is inside. We recommend trying our maki with salmon and avocado.
  • Gunkan (Gunkanmaki): Rice and filling are wrapped with a strip of nori. Ideal for caviar or salads, such as Gunkan Mussels.

Variety of Rolls: From Classic to Tempura
Rolls are the most popular category of Japanese cuisine. They offer a vast space for experimentation. Several main subcategories of rolls are distinguished. Each has its own unique texture and taste.
  1. Classic Rolls (Maki): These are simple thin rolls. They usually contain one or two ingredients.
  2. Uramaki ("Inside-Out Rolls"): The rice is on the outside, and the nori is inside. An example is Philadelphia with shrimp. This roll contains shrimp, delicate cream cheese, and fresh cucumber.
  3. Popular American Rolls: Among them is the hit Canada, which includes eel, cream cheese, and cucumber.
  4. Tempura Rolls (Fried): The rolls are deep-fried in a crispy tempura batter. They are served warm and are very satisfying. Try our Tempura roll with salmon, which combines salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber.
  5. Hot Rolls: They are baked under a special sauce or cheese. This gives them a creamy and rich flavor. An excellent example is Hot Lava, prepared with salmon, cucumbers, signature lava sauce, teriyaki, and sesame seeds.

Why are our rolls special?
  • We use only fresh Atlantic fish.
  • The rice is prepared using a unique Japanese technology.
  • Our chefs strictly control every portion.

How to Choose the Perfect Set?
Start your acquaintance with the classic Nigiri. Then try Maki with salmon and avocado. If you want something hot, choose Tempura or Baked rolls. For those who love a vibrant taste, we recommend Gunkan Mussels. Don't forget the wasabi and ginger. They perfectly complement the taste of sushi.
