Various Rolls and Sashimi

       In my opinion, Sushi is the greatest Japanese dish introduced to the states and even the world. Sushi is a Japanese dish containing cooked rice topped with numerous other ingredients such as fish and other types of seafood's. Most often Sushi is served in a roll of cooked rice and often wrapped in dried seaweed. Also very common is sliced raw fish on it's own which is called Sashimi. Overall Sushi is very good for your body and health, providing many needed antioxidants to keep you healthy.

California Roll

       When I was younger it was difficult for me to appreciate the delicious taste of fresh fish. Over the years of numerous dining experiences at various sushi bars with my family, I grew to accept and even enjoy the taste of a scrumptious sushi dinner. Like most new sushi eaters, I enjoyed mainly the "California Roll", consisting of avocado, imitation crab, cucumber and tobiko, wrapped in dried seaweed and cooked rice. This generic roll seemed to be heaven for me at the time, however I did not know that there was so much more out there.

Masuo's, Solana Beach

       Once my parents introduced me to special sushi rolls at Masuo's Sushi Restaurant in Solana Beach, I knew my love for sushi would never be the same. Over the next several years sushi chef "Shep", introduced me to all different types of decadent, mouth-watering sushi rolls. Nowadays when I enter the restaurant no menu is provided for me. Instead Sheppard fixes up anything he deems delicious and serves it to me. In turn our family provides him with all the Sake shots and beers he desires for the time we are there.

       I wish I could describe the rolls that are made there but he will never tell me the names. Sheppard rarely tells me what is in them. I suggest this Japanese dish and restaurant to everyone. I love sushi!
