Exclusive Sushi Recipes Collection!
We are adding new sushi recipes every few days
so keep checking back. These recipes are from one of Miyamoto's own renowned
sushi chefs and will help you create the most amazing sushi
rolls.
Sushi Rice
Recipe — Often, up to 80% of
product consumed during a sushi meal is rice. Getting your sushi rice right is a
crucial element in successful sushi making at home. The proper preparation of the
rice is so important that in our shop as well as most quality establishments there
are chefs whose sole responsibility is to cook the rice.
 California Roll
Recipe — Originally
"California" rolls referred to the use of avocados in sushi makis. Today,
the inside/out [rice on the outside] categorizes a California roll more than its
contents. Garnishing the outside rice covering of California rolls offers the
opportunity to add wonderful color and texture to your sushi presentation.
Enjoy!
Philadelphia Roll Recipe -
Philly Roll — A very popular roll
is the Philadelphia Roll, or Philly Roll, named after the popular brand name cream
cheese. It is a great combination of flavors and many of our clients like to have it
for breakfast!
Japanese Sunomono Salad
This dish serves as a great accompaniment to most
Japanese meals. Sunomono translates into English roughly as vinegared food. The
following recipe is both light and refreshing. It is particularly good to eat in the
hot summer months.
Cucumber Roll
Recipe — For a refreshing
departure from the sushi-in-seaweed theme, try wrapping your rice roll in cucumber!
Cutting a good cucumber wrap is a bit tricky, but don't be daunted - it just takes a
bit of practice to get it right.
Healthy Brown Rice &
Shrimp Cones — Here's a very
delicious shrimp and brown rice recipe that is also full of goodness! This is an
informal variation that brown rice lovers in Montreal came up with. It is fast and
requires no particular expertise.

Sushi Question of the Month for Wesley
Miyamoto
I am pregnant and want to know
if it is ok to eat Sushi during this time?
– Bibi Björnstrand, Sweden
Wesley Miyamoto replies:
Underlying bacteria in raw fish can be hazardous and some
parasite infections can cause terrible flu-like conditions, which
can lead to a miscarriage. So unless you feel 100% confident about
your favorite sushi shop or restaurant, it is best to avoid eating
raw fish or shell fish during a pregnancy. But remember - there are
many other cooked items and rolls that one can eat during this time,
such as California rolls, smoked salmon, etc.
I have found some informative articles concerning this issue, and
list them below.
Best regards,
– Wesley Miyamoto

and pregnancy.

Nuclear
Radiation Fallout In Food From Japan And Sushi Fish From
Japan
After an earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
plant in Japan, people started to worry about radiation in sushi fish. One step that
people are taking is to start to buy fish caught in Southwestern Japan instead of
Northeastern Japan, where the radiation disaster at the nuclear facility occurred.
FDA officials in America say fish that is coming from Japan is being screened for
radiation before it's being made available to the marketplace. This will most likely
affect the availability of some Yellowtail and some Snapper. Fish less likely to be
affected are Tuna and Salmon, as they usually come from suppliers in the United
States and Europe. Read our special page - Nuclear Radiation
Fallout In Food From Japan And Sushi Fish From Japan.
INN AT RIVERBEND TAKES
THE GOLD
NEW YORK
(November 12, 2008) — Select Registry: Distinguished Inns of North America,
an organization comprised of the best B&Bs and inns in North America, has
announced the winners in the innkeeper category of its celebrated culinary
competition, “The Inn-Credible Breakfast Cook-Off,” designed to
recognize the best “inn” breakfast in North America. Inn at
Riverbend of Pearisburg took the GOLD with its “Breakfast Sushi,”
submitted by Linda Hayes and Eric Hanson.
“Breakfast Sushi” was the
result of brainstorming over the summer months. Since Eric eats sushi
weekly, the team decided to try the concept of sushi to create a new menu item
with the wrapper being a different “vessel” to deliver breakfast
flavors similar to Eggs Benedict. Using flavored soy wrappers rather than
traditional nori diminishes the strong flavor of the seaweed. Virginia country
ham makes one of them a perfect Colonial roll! (READ THE FULL
RECIPE!)
Unwrapping
The Raw Truth About Americanized Sushi
(This article includes a very good nutritional breakdown of popular sushi
items.)
While traditional sushi with raw fish is nutritionally impressive, it's
a mistake to think sushi is a total dietary bargain. Just for the record, sushi does
not mean raw fish. Sushi specifically refers to dishes made with vinegared rice,
which traditionally includes fish (often raw) and/or vegetables, wrapped in seaweed.
So the basic ingredients in sushi make it sound healthful and "calorically
light," but that just isn't the case when you take American eating habits into
account.

Most people associate the word sushi with raw fish
– maybe because many sushi varieties are prepared using some type of fish or
seafood. But actually, sushi is the marriage of vinegar rice to other ingredients.
