Handroll Sushi
Handroll sushi, known as temaki sushi, is a unique and enjoyable way to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. Unlike traditional sushi rolls, handroll sushi is wrapped into a cone shape, making it easy to hold and eat without chopsticks.
At Sushi Handroll, we specialise in handroll sushi in London, offering the freshest ingredients, expert craftsmanship, and an unforgettable dining experience. Our top sushi chefs prepare temaki sushi using traditional techniques, ensuring every bite delivers exceptional flavour and texture.
What is Handroll Sushi?
Handroll sushi, or temaki, is a Japanese-style sushi roll that is rolled by hand rather than cut into bite-sized pieces. The key elements of a great handroll include:
- Crisp nori (seaweed) that wraps around the filling.
- Perfectly seasoned sushi rice that provides the ideal texture and balance.
- Fresh ingredients, such as sashimi-grade fish, vegetables, and sauces.
Unlike traditional maki rolls, which are made using a bamboo mat and cut into pieces, temaki sushi is prepared fresh to order and served immediately, ensuring maximum crispness and flavour.
At Sushi Handroll, we take great pride in serving handroll sushi exactly how it should be enjoyed—fresh, beautifully wrapped, and bursting with flavour.
The Art of Handroll Sushi at Sushi Handroll
At our London sushi restaurants, handroll sushi is crafted with precision and skill by our expert sushi chefs. The secret to a perfect temaki lies in the quality of the ingredients and the technique used to roll them.
Premium Ingredients for Exceptional Handroll Sushi
Each handroll sushi at Sushi Handroll is made with:
- High-quality nori that remains crisp until the last bite.
- Sushi rice that is perfectly seasoned for flavour and texture.
- Fresh, premium seafood, including tuna, salmon, crab, and prawn.
- Vibrant vegetables such as avocado, cucumber, and pickled radish.
Every element is carefully chosen to ensure that our handroll sushi delivers the perfect balance of taste, texture, and freshness.
Expert Sushi Chefs Handcrafting Every Roll
At Sushi Handroll, our chefs are highly skilled in the art of making handroll sushi. Unlike machine-made sushi, each temaki roll is hand-wrapped, ensuring that every piece is crafted to perfection.
The process requires precise timing—the nori must be crisp, the rice must be warm, and the fillings must be perfectly portioned to create the ultimate sushi experience.
Handroll Sushi vs. Traditional Sushi Rolls
Many people wonder how handroll sushi differs from maki sushi rolls. While both use the same high-quality ingredients, their presentation, serving style, and eating experience are entirely different.
Key Differences Between Handroll Sushi & Maki Rolls
| Feature | Handroll Sushi (Temaki) | Traditional Sushi Rolls (Maki) |
| Shape | Cone-shaped, meant to be held in hand | Cylindrical, cut into bite-sized pieces |
| Serving Style | Served individually | Served in multiple pieces |
| Best Eaten | Immediately, to enjoy crisp nori | Can be stored or shared easily |
| Preparation | Rolled by hand | Rolled using a bamboo mat |
At Sushi Handroll, we offer both styles, ensuring that sushi lovers can enjoy the best of both worlds.
