ABOUT US

Temaki Den is a no-frills hand roll and aburi sushi bar founded by Toshi Kizaki, chef and owner of Sushi Den. Chef Kizaki’s kodawari, or ‘uncompromising and relentless pursuit of perfection,’ has earned his restaurants nationwide acclaim. Temaki Den offers a more casual and approachable alternative to the high-end sushi experience, without sacrificing quality or freshness.

Temaki – Hand Roll

Temaki-zushi, literally translated to hand roll sushi, is a simple roll of nori (seaweed) wrapped around shari (vinegar rice) and neta (fish/ingredients). This style of sushi highlights our fresh rice and high quality nori while keeping prices affordable for our customers. Temaki-zushi is best enjoyed immediately, while the rice is still warm and the nori seaweed crisp. Similar to most omakase style sushi bars, we serve one piece at a time to be eaten at its peak temperature and crispness.

Aburi – “Flame Seared”

Aside from hand roll sushi, we specialize in our signature aburi-zushi. A fairly modern technique, the neta in aburi nigiri sushi is flash-seared over open flame before resting on a bed of rice. We hand-select the tastiest neta to bring out the best possible flavor and texture in each piece.
