Sushi that isn't raw???

[6loversofdisney]

So, I always said that I would NEVER want to try sushi because I like cooked food cooked and raw food raw. Well, someone showed me a whole new world (PUN intended) which is that of cooked or non raw sushi. I love California rolls and have tried other things that I really enjoy. Is there a place to get something like this at WDW?

I have only had sushi at Tokyo Dining in Epcot Japan has was very good sushi I think. I love sushi and eat it all the time.

they have all the typical sushi there from the raw to the more North american ones like the California rolls and non raw fish ones.

Ebi rolls are cooked (shrimp tempura). California has no fish or shrimp or anything like that so no need to cook it. I believe Tokyo dinning and Morimoto both have an ebi or shrimp tempura roll.

You can get any sushi that features shrimp or crab...that stuff isn't served raw.

The cheaper places probably don't use actual crab, they will use imitation crab made from white fish...but that also isn't raw.

Kona also seves shrimp tempura, california, and vegetable rolls.

Most sushi is cooked. The term sushi refers to the rice used. You should check, (and of course, smokes salmon is technically raw) but most is fine. Sashimi is the raw stuff.

Thank you. I always have been confounded when folks use Sushi as a term to cover all the different options. I began to think I was the only one who called the raw fish dishes Sashimi.

Well, some of the rolls do contain raw fish (tuna, salmon, eel). Sashimi, unless I'm wrong, is just the fish. Nigiri is raw fish (or cooked shrimp) atop sushi rice.

The Japanese are often credited by Foodies as having some of the finest palates in the world. Michelin Restaurant Guide gives more of the coveted 3-star ratings to establishments in Japan than in France.

Sashimi is raw fish.

Sushi is part of traditional Japanese cuisine and includes rice…..fish is not the common element in sushi - rice is the common element in sushi. A combination of something with rice both prepared and served in an appropriate manner may be called sushi.

Some preparations of sushi include something (i.e. protein of raw fish, fruit, vegetable….even something cooked) either placed atop a beautifully formed 'football-shaped' single-serving & bit-sized portion of rice, while some other sushi are a 'rolled' and then cut into bit-sized pieces with the rice being on the outside or the inside (yes, protein/something can be on the outside). Cones with rice on the inside are a possible and common option as well. Regardless, rice is the common element in sushi.

My 7 y.o. child is not yet at the point where she eats raw fish (yet), but she enjoyed the very much cooked sushi of pork belly (bacon) served with rice at California Grill. It's not uncommon to see sushi rolls (rice on outside) with shrimp and/or soft-shell crabs as an option on many menus (look for: 'Dragon Roll'). Also, some of these rolls contain 'crunchy' elements that can mimic the fried element seemingly missing from otherwise soft raw ingredients and rice. By the way, my child enjoyed the over-the-top sushi dessert she was served too.

CA Grill has many options. Kimono's has many options. These are the places we enjoy sushi at Disney.

An alternative step for someone looking into the possibility of enjoying the notional fresh seafood aspect of sushi & sashimi might also consider the Latin concept of ceviche (seh-VEE-chay) - that is raw seafood which is 'cooked', without heat, by the addition of citrus (I enjoy that popcorn is often an accompaniment). Italians menus may call these Crudo; Poke is the Hawaiian expression.

Just trying to offer some options.


Enjoy!

I've had the sushi rolls at Kona Café, Toyko Dining, and also at California Grill. All were very delicious, and I do believe I ate rolls that did not include raw fish, as well as rolls that did. Just look at the roll description, and avoid any rolls that have fish in them (as it will be raw), unless the roll is deep-fried. (when they deep-fry the roll, the fish then becomes cooked from the heat of the fryer). Rolls containing shrimp or crab are fully cooked. I am going to Disney in a week, and I will be looking for the same thing, as while I LOVE raw fish in my sushi, I cannot eat raw fish at this time because it is a no-no while pregnant.

My favorite Sushi on property (for cooked) is Splittsville at Disney Springs. They have a several options that are cooked. My personal fave is the Crouching Dragon roll.

Tokyo Dining at Epcot! If you don't like raw, try anything tempura or veggie. I love sweet potato roll. Try it with eel sauce.
