Zama debuts rice-free sushi

POSTED: Monday, January 14, 2013, 1:14 PM

We can imagine what's going through your mind at the mention of "health conscious, rice-less sushi." Doesn't the word sushi refer to the rice? Or maybe: Isn't that just called sashimi? Or if, like us, you stubbornly continue to believe that a dozen hand rolls contain a cumulative calorie count of zero: Oh come on, since when is sushi not a health-conscious choice?!

These are all valid questions, but when it comes right down to it, we're willing to put ourselves in the hands of the sushi chefs at Zama (128 S. 19th St.)—especially when they've come up with something as pretty as the combination shown above. They're including tuna wrapped in daikon radish, snapper wrapped in cucumber, yellowtail wrapped in carrot, bluefin tartar with scallions and watermelon radish, and a quinoa chirashi that's got shiitakes, pickled ginger, tamago, eel, and shrimp. As if you needed something to make that protein shake look even less appealing
