Sushi goes inside out

While one experiences the artistic Japanese delicacies at the Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo Sushi Bar they can also indulge in the latest addition to its extensive Sushi menu, the signature Cinnamon Lakeside California Maki.

The California Maki, also known as the California roll hails from the maki-zushi range. The roll is usually made inside-out and contains cucumber, crabmeat and avocado rolled up in sticky rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds and wrapped in a sheet of seaweed. A popular style of sushi in the US and other countries, the California Roll has been influential in sushi's global popularity and in inspiring sushi chefs around the world in creating non-traditional fusion cuisine.

The Sushi Bar also offers an array of both authentic and modern sushi rolls where the delicate flavors of rice, vegetables and fish are enhanced with healthy soya sauce, ginger and wasabi. It also serves classic hot dishes and desserts including the ’Donburi’ range, Noodles and Yaki Udon whilst the green tea ice cream and ginger ice cream remain favourites for dessert.

The expert sushi chefs at CLC fast become friends of the health conscious as the health benefits of this type of Japanese cuisine are immense. To begin with the fish provides a lean source of low-calorie, high quality protein. It is also low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy food choice. Salmon is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to improved cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and decreased risk of abnormal heart rhythms.
