Sushi Burritos!

Talk about a unique concept! It may sound strange at first, but there is method in the madness. Jogasaki Sushi Burrito specializes in making sushi rolls that resemble burritos.

Basically, the chef constructs a normal sushi roll (any type you'd like) and instead of cutting it the normal way, he just leaves it as one large piece.

Being a huge sushi fan, this was definitley a unique experience for me. I have ordered hand rolls in the past but even those are much different.

I decided to go with the salmon and spicy tuna roll. The sushi had chunks of salmon and tuna and was accompanied with avocado, spicy mayo and cucumbers. The entire thing was wrapped in rice paper instead of seaweed and then wrapped again in foil. The exterior really did look like a burrito.

I am not sure if it was the way that the roll was presented or if it was my imagination, but this sushi burrito was huge. Joga offers two sizes for their sushi burritos: a regular (which is what I ordered) and then a smaller size. 

The prices at this food truck were reasonable for it being fresh and delicious fish. Generally, sushi restaurants will serve their speciality rolls and price them between $9-$14; My roll was $12.

I ordered a Coke to drink while I got my sushi fix, plus it helped defuse the fire in my mouth from the spicy flavor of the roll. If you are a fan of spicy food I would strongly recommend ordering the "Chef's special spicy sauce" for 50 cents more. I asked the chef what it was made of and he told me that it was a secret recipe.

Needless to say, the red pepper sauce totally had a kick to it. It tasted both spicy and a tad bit sweet. 

The menu included other things besides the sushi burritos. There were regular cut rolls, hand rolls, miso soup, etc. If at all skeptical about getting sushi from a truck I would strongly encourage you not to be. The sushi was fresh, the service was super quick and the men running the truck were really friendly.

Oh, and try the green tea ice cream (called matcha) for dessert!!
