Ten Sabi Temaki- Lil bit hot, lil bit cold, original fusion dish from Nihonbashi

Temaki Sushi also known as hand roll sushi is one of the easiest styles of sushi to make. It is simply easy to hold, difficult for the contents to spill while eating, and can be exquisite looking when filled with a variety of ingredients.
The Ten Sabi Temaki is a Nihonbashi original Roll. It’s a fusion of sushi and tempura, where wasabi-mayonnaise is folded into sumeshi (sushi rice i.e vinegard rice) where a whole crispy Black Tiger prawn Tempura is individually wrapped to a cone. It has become one of the favourites among the Japanese & non Japanese guests alike who patronage the restaurant.

This hand roll, initially served without a name for about six months, was later named after the Tempura (ten) Sabi from wasabi and the method of rolling Temaki (hand roll)

Dharshan the owner of Nihonbashi add that the warmth of the prawn gives wings to the mayonnaise and there are several temperatures and textures in this one dish.
So whenever you make a visit to Nihonbashi restaurants located at No.11, Galle Face Terrace, Colombo 03 or Hilton Colombo Residence, don’t forget to have a crispy Ten Sabi Temaki enjoying the hot and cold mix of tempura and sushi rice, and feel the mayo vapours leaving the sushi to play havoc with sense of smell and most importantly its taste.

By the way, if you like to know how to prepare this special dish at home do drop an email to info@nihonbashi.lk or call Nihonbashi on 011-2323847.
