EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: Sashimi Roll at Vic Sushi
What if you want sashimi and maki all at once? At the risk of angering the Japanese Sushi Traditionalist Gestapo so much that they bum-rush Philly, let us introduce you to the Sashimi Roll at Vic Sushi.
EAT THIS IMMEDIATELY: Sashimi Roll at Vic Sushi
Most of us know that sushi is defined not by the use of uncooked seafood but by the presence of vinegared rice. Sliced raw fish sans rice is called sashimi; rolled up with rice and bound it's maki; draped over a rice clump it's nigiri; we could go on and on till Thursday so we'll stop. Typically it's a wise idea to stay within the bounds of accepted sushi definition, lest you end up eating something ridiculous dressed with glowstick-and-Goldschläger sauce or whatever — but sometimes you find yourself wanting sashimi and maki in one bite. (Just us?) At the risk of angering the Japanese Sushi Traditionalist Gestapo so much that they bum-rush Philly on a fact-finding mission, let us introduce you to the oxymoronic Sashimi Roll at Vic Sushi (2035 Sansom St.) Quite simply, it's shards of fresh sashimi, plus avocado, rolled up over shredded daikon radish (usually just a sad garnish) instead of rice. That's it. If you're feeling hungry and contrarian, eat this immediately.
