“I had the opportunity to dine at Ujita Hiroshi’s sushi restaurant in Kyoto, called Awomb, where guests are allowed to make their own sushi and—if they want to—roll it themselves. When it came time to create my own, I was inspired by this familial atmosphere and the huge variety of fresh ingredients available. The result was mouthwatering! This recipe has been adapted from the original for the home chef.”
