Thanksgiving Sushi

From November 13 through Thanksgiving, Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant in downtown Los Angeles is offering an entree that provides a new twist on the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. The "Turkey Sushi Roll" consists of sliced turkey wrapped in soy paper served with rice seasoned with dill and chives, avocado, and asparagus.angelenic: takami talks turkey - sushi, that is (October 31, 2008)

Katherine Spiers, writing for Budgets Travel's Blog, said of the meal:

"Essentially, this is a nice sandwich made with rice rather than rye. The avocado, asparagus, cucumber, and sprouts provide a bit of green, and the gravy drizzled atop the roll, while not super-pretty, doesn't really affect the flavor. Though the roll itself isn't thrilling, we'd be remiss not to mention the cranberry jam than accompanies the plate. Mixed with the sweet fruit are sesame seeds, a combo that no one should live without trying. In fact, you might want to bring this idea home for Thanksgiving."Budget Travel's Blog: Los Angeles: Thanksgiving sushi, as bad as it sounds? (November 16, 2008)
