I
love
Sushi - it's my favorite food.
My favorite Japanese foods:
Miso soup
Teriyaki tofu
Edamame with wasabe (very good for you - high in protein - japanese soy beans)
Rolls:
Spicy yellow tail roll - SO good,
raw - if you're raw-a-phobic
Spicy tuna roll - same as above
Spicy salmon roll - same as above
Eel roll - DELISH - cooked eel (sounds gross, tastes AMAZING) rolled like a typical roll. Eel rolls usually come with cucumber or avocado rolled inside with the eel (you can usually choose, I prefer cucumber for the CRUNCH) and on top is drizzled with this delicious sweet sauce.
Boston roll - my personal "safe" roll. It's cooked shrimp (not fried or battered), lettuce, cucumber, and japanese mayo - amazing - great for summer, very refreshing
Philly/Philadelphia roll - I've seen this made a number of ways, but most commonly it's smoked salmon (smoked to PERFECTION - this roll is an indulgence - the salmon smoked has this delicious smokey flavor, similar to bacon), scallions, and cream cheese - I know, sounds like a weird combo, but it really is amazing, decadent, and rich
Spider roll - was one of my favorite rolls before my WLS, now I can't eat it because it's fried - but it's fried soft shell crab wrapped like a typical roll - VERY interesting, very tasty
