| google search of the day - spicy mayo
the spicy mayo sauce that sushi chefs use is a mixture of Kewpie mayonnaise and Sriracha Chili sauce
almost every other sushi at fugakyu has it, but it doesn't seem japanese in origin. hmm | | |
| my bi-annual sushi pilgrimage with j. soo puurrty~
1) caterpillar roll - eel, avocado, cucumber, tobiko (not enough eel so a little disappointing)
2) volcano roll - california topped with tobiko and spicy mayo, baked! so the rice on the outside is a little crispy, nice when eaten warm
3) alaska roll - salmon & avocado (both melt in mouth mmm~) with bonito flakes on outside (dried fish flakes that add a subtle and surprisingly nice complementary taste), the most economic roll we had which was surprisingly very good
4) ebi tuna roll - a special with shrimp and maguro wrapped alternatingly on the outside, asparagus, cucumber, kampyo, avocado in middle
