Amazing. Just… amazing. That’s the only way I know how to describe this roll (okay, so not the only way, but definitely one of the best ways!) This has been added to my list of my favorite sushi rolls, so it’s gotta be good, right? The Sriracha sauce adds a pleasant kick, but it’s mellowed out by the mayonnaise so it’s perfect for those of us who don’t like super spicy foods. The tobiko adds a wonderful crunch to the sushi, and the green onion brightens it up a little. Overall, it’s a delicious roll! (As for the name of the roll, I cannot for the life of me remember where I found this roll, but this is what they called it and I can’t really come up with a better name :P )

You also should try the sauce for this (mayonnaise, Sriracha, masago, and green onion) mixed into canned tuna and sandwiched between two slices of toasted bread… it’s absolutely scrumptious! :D Whenever I have leftover masago or tobiko in the fridge, I make this for lunch… filling and just delicious! I love it. :)

As for the Sushi Day shirts, we have had a few delays in getting the order form up, so hopefully it will be up by the end of this week! Keep your fingers crossed!
