Are you new to the world of sushi and feeling a little overwhelmed by the extensive menu options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this beginner’s guide to navigating a sushi menu, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to order, eat, and enjoy sushi like a pro. From common terms and ingredients to beginner-friendly rolls and dishes, we’ll help you navigate the sushi menu with confidence.

Understanding the Basics:
Before diving into the menu, it’s helpful to understand some common terms and ingredients you’ll encounter when ordering sushi. Nigiri is a type of sushi consisting of a slice of raw fish served over pressed vinegared rice. Maki rolls are sushi rolls wrapped in seaweed (nori), typically filled with rice, fish, and vegetables. Sashimi refers to thinly sliced raw fish served without rice. Wasabi is a spicy green paste made from Japanese horseradish, often served alongside sushi for added flavor.

Beginner-Friendly Sushi Rolls:
If you’re new to sushi, it’s best to start with beginner-friendly rolls that are milder in flavor and texture. California rolls are a popular choice for beginners, featuring crab or imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber wrapped in seaweed and rice. Vegetable rolls, such as cucumber rolls or avocado rolls, are another great option for those looking for a meat-free option. Tempura rolls, filled with crispy fried shrimp or vegetables, offer a delicious crunch that appeals to many sushi newcomers.

Trying New Flavors and Textures:
Once you’ve mastered the basics, don’t be afraid to branch out and try new flavors and textures. Dragon rolls, filled with eel, avocado, and cucumber, are a deliciously savory option for those looking to explore new flavors. Spicy tuna rolls, featuring chopped tuna mixed with spicy mayo and wrapped in seaweed and rice, offer a satisfying kick of heat for adventurous eaters. For those seeking a lighter option, sashimi platters showcase the natural flavors of raw fish without the rice or seaweed.
