About

For me, sushi rice does this rather remarkable sweet, tangy, body temperature thing like nothing else. Against the luxurious comfort of the rice, I love the fight and fragrance of the sweet aromatic squid.

Chop a few bird’s eye chillies in if you want to go hotter, as heaven forbid any corner of your mouth go unstimulated while chasing the sushi squid dragon.
