I had what may have been the best roll I've ever had. It had no rice,
was all fish and had wasabi colored soy bean seaweed wrap. They
called it hot lover roll, it had shrimp tempura. spicy tuna, avacado,
eel, & yellowtail. It was so good and very light for a hot summer day.
The itamae had formed it into a triangle, almost a teardrop. I
wouldn't want the rice free roll all the time as I love rice, but this
was a lovely change.

I don't know if I've had such rolls without rice but idamae can be very
ingenious. There is quite a good one where the outer part is thin tuna
and salmon ( a "Ranbow Roll") and another which is covered with browned
Panko crumbs. The crumbs give a different sensation but the rolls must
be eaten within some minutes of preparation befor the Panko softens.

Rainbow roll is great too, James. I had one with 'crunch' sprinkles on
top, I'll bet it was panko, and it was a little different. It is
delightful to have 3 good sushi places in town now. DH has his
favorite for sashimi, and I have 2 with great sushi rolls. One of them
serves both Japanese & Chinese selections, what a choice I always have
there......it is all good eating!!!

The meats were all separate on the roll. I was tempted to take the
white tuna off the outside and eat it by itself, but then that opens a
whole 'nother discussion.
