The chicken spring maki that my boyfriend ordered has a mixture of lettuce, cucumber, chicken breast, red bell pepper, rice, and sesame.Īs for myself, to go with my sweetheart rolls, I ordered one of my favourites: the Akanasu, rolls of sundried tomato and cream cheese. The spring maki are kind of like mini wraps with different types of meat, fish, and vegetables wrapped in rice paper. My sweetie ordered the Boston Sumomaki rolls and an order of chicken spring maki and everything was so vibrant and colourful and fresh! The Boston Sumomaki rolls remind me of a freshwater fish market with its large chunks of crab meat and shrimp with lettuce, matchstick cucumbers, light mayo, and plenty of red fish roe. You have that fiery spiciness (passion), the crunch (stuff you have to work at), and the aesthetic sweetness of romance and love. As one of the sushi chefs said, “Kind of like love…you get a bit of everything!” So true and so clever the rolls had a little bit of everything rolled into one. It’s a wonderful, thought out combination that I really love and I think the way the salmon and tempura is mixed and the spiciness is what makes these rolls a hit. The texture was fabulous because the smoothness of the salmon meshed with the crunchiness of the tempura crumbles and fish roe into spicy, flavourful mouthfuls of happiness. The sweetheart rolls were big and plump with a mish mash of spicy salmon woven into a smooth tempura crunch mixture with plenty of red fish roe. It was just so perfect: maki rolls constructed to look like 2 halves of a whole heart. YES! Valentine’s sushi! I don’t think a dish could be any more perfect for me! My boyfriend and I had plans to go to my favourite sushi place, The Sushi Shop, on Monday for a light sushi lunch and oh my goodness, I was over the moon when I walked in and saw the special promo poster for the “Sweetheart” maki! I’m talking excited, heart fluttery, bug-eyed happiness. Today I’m sharing photos of my special Valentine’s sushi.
