AMAZING
1st SAKE SKIN ROLL
Freud Oriental, Athina
Probably my favourite maki on the planet. Salmon, fried salmon skin, cucumber, mayo, caramel sauce — yummm. Crispy on the inside, melt-in-your-mouth creamy on the outside! €13
2nd CRUNCHY SHRIMP ROLL
Nakama, Athina
Easily my favourite roll at Nakama, and one of my top rolls anywhere 😍 €6.50
3rd SPICY SEABASS ROLL
Exotic Izakaya (by white monkey), Chalandri
This was offered as a complimentary appetiser and it looked and sounded deceptively boring — but it was freaking amazing 🤤 Fairly easy on the spice despite the name.
REALLY GOOD
4th ANGEL MAKI
Freud Oriental, Athina
Baked eel, avocado, tempura flakes & tamago. Brilliant. €13
5th AVOCADO ROLL
Freud Oriental, Athina
Boiled shrimp, taguan, avocado, mayo, caramel sauce. Really, really good. €15
6th SALMON AVOCADO ROLL
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
Salmon Avocado is sort of my sushi benchmark roll, as it's all about quality ingredients and technique — you can't dazzle'em with novelty and a flashy presentation. Hachikō makes an awesome Salmon Avocado roll 👌 (it's the one in the background, the foreground one is Green Dragon) €10.50
7th BLACK KIBI ROLL
KiBi Sushi Bar, Agia Paraskevi
Shrimp tempura with avocado, spicy mayo and Teriyaki sauce in black & white rice, topped with seared salmon and a crunchy topping that may have been potato, and was totally awesome. Yummmm! Best dish of the evening. €12 #japanese
8th SPICY YELLOWTAIL URAMAKI
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
It's a good sushi place when the simple rolls rock. €8,50
11th SPICY SALMON TERIYAKI ROLL
GAKU Sushi Izakaya @ Chalandri, Chalandri
It is generally a good thing when something is mostly eaten before I remember to take a picture :p Spicy salmon with avocado and a slice of salmon tataki on top. Excellent. €10
12th SPIDER SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH MANGO
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
Crab tempura, mango, cream cheese, spicy mayo & unagi sauce — plus those flavour explosions of salmon roe, which aren't mentioned on the menu. Their tempura is heavy, which is a shame as otherwise this might qualify for "Amazing." As is, fabulous at first but less so with successive bites. €10
13th UNAGI AVOCADO URAMAKI
KiBi Sushi Bar, Agia Paraskevi
Grilled eel, avocado and kabayaki sauce. Delicious. €8 #japanese
14th MANGO TWIST ROLL
Nakama, Athina
Tuna, cucumber, avocado, mango, chilli and Teriyaki sauce. €6
15th GREEN DRAGON ROLL
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
Tempura shrimp, mango, cream cheese, avocado, wasabi mayo and crispy noodles on top. €13
18th RED DRAGON ROLL
Nakama, Athina
Tuna, carrot & Teriyaki sauce. €6
19th UNAGI TEMPURA ROLL
GAKU Sushi Izakaya @ Chalandri, Chalandri
Grilled fresh Greek eel tempura, cucumber, cream cheese & unagi sauce. €9
20th MAGURO TARTAR ROLL
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
Shrimp tempura, yuzu kosho mayo and avocado, topped with a spicy tuna tartare. Again, their tempura is sadly not up to par with the rest of their amazing food. Everything that has tempura in it starts out awesome but gets cloying fast. Real shame. €16
22nd RIKYU ROLL
GAKU Sushi Izakaya @ Chalandri, Chalandri
Marinated Greek seabass, cucumber, matcha mayo, wasabi tobiko, roasted almonds, chives. €10
23rd SPICY SAKE ROLL
Freud Oriental, Athina
Salmon, cucumber, scallion & Japanese chilli pepper. €9
25th SHRIMP ROLL
Exotic Izakaya (by white monkey), Chalandri
Was actually really good, if you removed the fried shrimp cracker crumbles from the top. €9
26th SHAKE AVOCADO URAMAKI
KiBi Sushi Bar, Agia Paraskevi
Salmon, avocado & tobiko inside-out roll. Yummy. €6 for eight pieces. #japanese
27th SALMON AVOCADO ROLL
Exotic Izakaya (by white monkey), Chalandri
They don't bring you soy sauce with your sushi in this place, and this was the only roll that actually needed it. €11
28th AHI & IKURA
Hachikō Sushi Tales & Cocktails Psychiko, Neo Psichiko
Tempura futomaki with salmon, tuna, crabmeat and cream cheese, with Teriyaki sauce. A bit overdone. €12
JUST OK
29th IKA ROLL
Nakama, Athina
Calamari tempura, mango, avocado, tobiko & mint. This is super photogenic and one of their most popular rolls, but I don't know... I thought the mint totally overpowered it. €6
