Fire Dragon Makimono

With Mai Tai Sushi & Bar having opened earlier this month, I was anxious to see what might be missing from the already strong Worcester sushi scene and was pleasantly surprised by the list of unique makimono rolls. Although Mai Tai has the safe standards known to the casual sushi consumer, it’s list of special rolls offer something a little different, including the Fire Dragon roll. Combining two sea favorites, the Fire Dragon includes two shrimp tempura with cream cheese, cucumber, and avocado rolled into a soya bean wrap. The roll is then topped with baked spicy salmon, scallion, eel sauce, and a flavorful spicy Japanese mayo. The textures, flavors, and presentation are a great example of how to bring something new to an already impressive sushi scene here in Worcester.

Fire Dragon Sushi

Newly opened Kenichi is filling the void that was made when Zipango’s closed in 2010. With a variety of special makimono the Fire Dragon is a great option when looking for something different. The combination of shrimp tempura, cream cheese, cucumber, avocado within a soya bean wrap adds the perfect texture with baked spicy salmon, scallion, eel sauce, and Japanese spicy mayo. The flavors compete but in the end will leave any sushi addict fulfilled with a new variety of sushi.
