A good sushi shop is judged first on its rice, which should be warm, lightly seasoned and firm enough to hold the fish. Freshness matters just as much, so a shop that makes its rolls to order and keeps its fillings chilled is doing the basics well. Rice balls and prawn rolls are good tests of a kitchen, because they show how fresh and carefully packed the food is. When choosing a takeaway sushi shop, check how the food is kept on the way home, and eat it soon after collecting it.
For a quick rice ball or a teriyaki roll in Avonhead, it is a shop worth a visit on Withells Road.
