How to tell good sushi
Rice
Warm or at room temperature, with grains you can feel. Cold, sticky rice means the roll has waited on a shelf.
Fish
Clean colour, firm texture and no smell.
Assembly
The roll holds its shape without being pressed flat, and the filling runs the full length.
Made to order
A roll is at its best a few minutes after it is made. Ask whether the sushi is made to order.
