MAKI ROLL A maki roll is probably what you think of when you go to a sushi restaurant . These are pieces of fish , either raw or cooked , and vegetables like avocado or cucumber rolled in a tube-like shape with seaweed and rice .
NIGIRI Nigiri is a thinly sliced piece of raw fish on top of a bed of rice . The word nigiri translates to “ two fingers ,” indicating that this thicker sushi is a bit heartier than some other options .
SASHIMI Though sashimi is often paired with sushi and nigiri , it ’ s actually not sushi at all ! Sashimi is simply a very delicate sliced piece of a specialty raw fish . It doesn ’ t have rice or anything else with it . Sashimi translates to “ pierced meat ,” which describes the artfully cut pieces that make up the dish .
TRADITIONAL ROLLS When ordering a traditional maki roll , there are probably a lot of different options ! The most traditional option would be under “ Regular Maki ” on Sushi Koya ’ s menu — these are rolls that contain raw fish . If the idea of raw fish gives you the heebie jeebies , you can also try cooked maki , which means that the fish will be fully cooked . If you don ’ t want fish at all , you can try vegetable maki , a great option for herbivores and meateaters alike !
SPECIAL ROLLS At Sushi Koya , the area ’ s best sushi chefs also prepare special rolls , which are one-of-a-kind offerings that combine diverse flavors into a variety of maki rolls . These options are a little more bold than your traditional offerings , combining traditional Japanese flavors like seaweed salad and kabayaki sauce with items like lobster salad and mango . Try a special roll to experience sushi like you never have before !
