When you have “Alaska” included in the name of a sushi roll, you most likely expect some good crab or salmon. Luckily, this roll has both! While the salmon draped over the top of the roll is its defining ingredient, many versions (including my own) also use crab in the roll so you get the best of both worlds.

Since you can make this roll a cooked roll by using smoked salmon (my preference), it’s a delicious roll for those who may be hesitant to eat raw fish.

If you are a fan of shrimp, look no further than the shrimp tempura roll when placing your next sushi order.

While there are more steps to making this than some other sushi rolls, the finished product is definitely worth the effort.

Crunchy rolls are a great way to combine two methods of Japanese cooking; tempura and sushi. Merging the delicate flavors of sushi with the savory flavors and light crunchy texture of tempura creates a roll that’s a must try for any sushi eater.

Distinctly Japanese in flavor, unagi sauce (eel sauce) adds a sweet and salty dimension to a wide range of sushi and Japanese dishes. I especially enjoy it on my sushi rolls. If making home sushi rolls, unagi sauce (eel sauce) helps bring it to the next level.

Ebi, the Japanese word for shrimp, is a common ingredient in sushi bars and Japanese restaurants alike.

However, the shrimp is sometimes served raw as well in this type of sushi. In that case, the shrimp must be fresh and handled properly to be eaten safely. I personally prefer using cooked shrimp in my ebi sushi.
