Super California Roll

You would think that putting unagi on top of a California Roll [1] really isn’t anything too special. I mean come on, it’s just your typical California Roll [1] with some eel on top. You would think. You would be wrong.

Super California Roll

This roll is amazing! We first tried it at Honda-Ya [2] when we went there for Son’s birthday, and it is really good! So of course we had to try making it ourselves.

Definitely a new addition to our list of favorites! This isn’t particularly difficult (if you can make a California Roll [1], you can make this), but it turns out tasting fantastic! I can’t rave enough about this one… you have to try it! 🙂
