Sushi me rollin’, they hatin’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who knew sushi was so versatile?<\/strong> This year we saw a number of\u00a0versions of the Japanese dish from\u00a0tacos, pizzas, burritos, donuts, and bowls. The trend of reinventing sushi swept major foodie cities all over the world and\u00a0one of\u00a0these was\u00a0Metro Manila!<\/p>\n

In this list, we look back at\u00a0all the\u00a0restaurants in the Metro that served the most interesting iterations of sushi. Keep reading to see who joined the craze.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Sushi Taco<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Ooma<\/a>\u00a0– multiple branches<\/h2>\n
Ooma is a modern Japanese restaurant which\u00a0promises\u00a0bold Japanese flavors at affordable prices. The concept is the brain child of the Moment Group and young acclaimed\u00a0chef Bruce Ricketts, the same partnership\u00a0that brought us Mecha Uma. One of their popular creations is the taco maki<\/strong> – an open-faced temaki wrap with a sheet of nori acting as the taco shell.\u00a0Their soft-shell crab taco maki<\/strong> is a must-try; it’s topped with crispy soft-shell crab, aligue mayo and ebiko!<\/em><\/p>\n

Torch<\/a>\u00a0– multiple branches<\/h2>\n
At Torch, seaweed is shaped into a taco shell and is battered and fried until crisp before being stuffed with Japanese rice and an assortment of toppings. The invention is called a Noritaco<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are currently eight kinds to choose from, we recommend the\u00a0Kumo<\/strong>\u00a0(soft shell crab, spicy mango, alfalfa, and tobiko) or\u00a0Kabuki <\/strong>(salmon, cream cheese, bonito, unagi mayo, and furikake); for the more adventurous, try the\u00a0Chuka Iidako <\/strong>noritaco which is topped\u00a0with spicy baby octopus, goma, cucumber, and spring onion.<\/em><\/p>\n
