Favorite Sushi Rolls
If I had to pick one sushi roll I could eat for the rest of my life it would be a spicy tuna roll. Don’t get me wrong; I love the crazy, complex rolls too. Some of my favorites are soft shell crab rolls, rainbow rolls, sashimi rice bowls, and all the signature rolls that you find at sushi restaurants. But give me my spicy tuna roll and I am happy.
