If you’ve been to Japan’s convenience stores, you may have noticed familiar-looking hand rolls, although with more spartan fillings than Australian sushi. But the most notable difference is the packaging that separates the rice from the nori. This sophisticated takeaway spot has embraced the concept with its grab-and-go hand rolls.
Once you conquer the art of unwrapping and rolling the sushi, you’re left with nori that’s so fresh it might adhere to the roof of your mouth. Even though they’re pre-prepared, the rolls aren’t refrigerated, so the rice is kept at a suitable temperature. Tempura prawn is the showstopper, with batter that also maintains its crunch.
