Recipe Note
Serving Notes
Serve these hand rolls immediately so the nori stays perfectly crisp, or set up a hand roll station for guests to build their own at the table. If you're traveling on the go, wrap the nori separately and assemble just before eating to maintain that signature crunch.
Drinking Notes
Pair these rolls with a chilled glass of clean, dry Junmai sake to complement the rich salmon. For a non-alcoholic option, an iced green tea infused with a twist of fresh citrus peel offers a beautifully refreshing, vibrant contrast.
A perfect fold of crisp sea and spice.
