Exclusive Sushi Recipes Collection!
We are adding new sushi recipes every few days so keep checking back. These recipes are from one of Miyamoto's own renowned sushi chefs and will help you create the most amazing sushi rolls.
Sushi Rice Recipe — Often, up to 80% of product consumed during a sushi meal is rice. Getting your sushi rice right is a crucial element in successful sushi making at home. The proper preparation of the rice is so important that in our shop as well as most quality establishments there are chefs whose sole responsibility is to cook the rice.
 California Roll Recipe — Originally "California" rolls referred to the use of avocados in sushi makis. Today, the inside/out [rice on the outside] categorizes a California roll more than its contents. Garnishing the outside rice covering of California rolls offers the opportunity to add wonderful color and texture to your sushi presentation. Enjoy!
Philadelphia Roll Recipe - Philly Roll — A very popular roll is the Philadelphia Roll, or Philly Roll, named after the popular brand name cream cheese. It is a great combination of flavors and many of our clients like to have it for breakfast!
Japanese Sunomono Salad
This dish serves as a great accompaniment to most Japanese meals. Sunomono translates into English roughly as vinegared food. The following recipe is both light and refreshing. It is particularly good to eat in the hot summer months.
Cucumber Roll Recipe — For a refreshing departure from the sushi-in-seaweed theme, try wrapping your rice roll in cucumber! Cutting a good cucumber wrap is a bit tricky, but don't be daunted - it just takes a bit of practice to get it right.
Healthy Brown Rice & Shrimp Cones — Here's a very delicious shrimp and brown rice recipe that is also full of goodness! This is an informal variation that brown rice lovers in Montreal came up with. It is fast and requires no particular expertise.

Sushi Question of the Month for Wesley Miyamoto
I am pregnant and want to know if it is ok to eat Sushi during this time?
– Bibi Björnstrand, Sweden
Wesley Miyamoto replies:
Underlying bacteria in raw fish can be hazardous and some parasite infections can cause terrible flu-like conditions, which can lead to a miscarriage. So unless you feel 100% confident about your favorite sushi shop or restaurant, it is best to avoid eating raw fish or shell fish during a pregnancy. But remember - there are many other cooked items and rolls that one can eat during this time, such as California rolls, smoked salmon, etc.
I have found some informative articles concerning this issue, and list them below.
Best regards,
– Wesley Miyamoto

Nuclear Radiation Fallout In Food From Japan And Sushi Fish From Japan
After an earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station plant in Japan, people started to worry about radiation in sushi fish. One step that people are taking is to start to buy fish caught in Southwestern Japan instead of Northeastern Japan, where the radiation disaster at the nuclear facility occurred. FDA officials in America say fish that is coming from Japan is being screened for radiation before it's being made available to the marketplace. This will most likely affect the availability of some Yellowtail and some Snapper. Fish less likely to be affected are Tuna and Salmon, as they usually come from suppliers in the United States and Europe. Read our special page - Nuclear Radiation Fallout In Food From Japan And Sushi Fish From Japan.
INN AT RIVERBEND TAKES THE GOLD
NEW YORK (November 12, 2008) — Select Registry: Distinguished Inns of North America, an organization comprised of the best B&Bs and inns in North America, has announced the winners in the innkeeper category of its celebrated culinary competition, “The Inn-Credible Breakfast Cook-Off,” designed to recognize the best “inn” breakfast in North America. Inn at Riverbend of Pearisburg took the GOLD with its “Breakfast Sushi,” submitted by Linda Hayes and Eric Hanson.
“Breakfast Sushi” was the result of brainstorming over the summer months. Since Eric eats sushi weekly, the team decided to try the concept of sushi to create a new menu item with the wrapper being a different “vessel” to deliver breakfast flavors similar to Eggs Benedict. Using flavored soy wrappers rather than traditional nori diminishes the strong flavor of the seaweed. Virginia country ham makes one of them a perfect Colonial roll! (READ THE FULL RECIPE!)
Unwrapping The Raw Truth About Americanized Sushi
(This article includes a very good nutritional breakdown of popular sushi items.)
While traditional sushi with raw fish is nutritionally impressive, it's a mistake to think sushi is a total dietary bargain. Just for the record, sushi does not mean raw fish. Sushi specifically refers to dishes made with vinegared rice, which traditionally includes fish (often raw) and/or vegetables, wrapped in seaweed. So the basic ingredients in sushi make it sound healthful and "calorically light," but that just isn't the case when you take American eating habits into account.
