What Exactly is Temaki?

Also known as hand roll sushi, this type of sushi is shaped like a cone. Unlike other sushi types, which are typically rolled with precision using a bamboo mat, these rolls are crafted by hand. This unique shape not only makes it visually appealing but also easy to eat, especially for those new to sushi. The ingredients are carefully chosen and placed inside a sheet of nori (seaweed), which is then rolled into a conical shape. The ends are left open so that the vibrant fillings can peek out, enticing every sushi lover.

At Aikawa Sushi, our hand rolls are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring each bite is a burst of flavor. Whether you’re dining in our warm, relaxed dining room or ordering for take-out or delivery, our sushi promises to delight your palate.
