And having followed the dictates of the Cleveland Clinic, I decided it was time to return to the rolls I love. Fusion Sushi has a massive menu, but it keeps that menu under control. I even ordered an iced green tea, unsweetened. If I was going pure, I was going to stay pure.

I could have gotten the salmon skin salad. As a special treat, I went for the sashimi salad, which is, if anything, even more healthful: chunks of raw fish atop a salad, rather than rice. Rather than the hyper-complicated assemblages of sushi rolls, I worked my way through a plate of old favorites such as tataki maguro (seared tuna), unagi (fresh water eel), hamachi (yellowtail) - and my personal fave rave, uni (sea urchin) - tasting of the sea, and rarely found in sushi rolls. Ditto the miso soup, which the Cleveland Clinic tells us “can help fill you up at just 75 calories a cup.” (I don’t know who’s satiated by a cup of miso. For a change, the complimentary edamame - very lightly salted, I noticed, with my taste buds returning from years of excess - weren’t so much a time-filler as a genuinely tasty pre-course.


It exudes fresh, clean, really good for you. Oh boy!īut as I was reminded, with a culinary journey back to my sushi roots, at its simplest, sushi is just fine, even wonderful. The articled also included a “Guide to eating healthy sushi” from the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, that let us know our sushi would be ever so much better if it were made with brown rice instead of white … and if we skipped the soy.

Add on some edamame, or seaweed salad - and Lord have mercy - a Big Mac could have been less caloric. Turns out a California roll has 255 calories. (The Japanese, as a rule, have admirably low blood pressure, minimal cholesterol issues, and a fraction of the heart attacks of the USA.) And as rolls go, the California roll is pretty modest: just cucumber, crab meat, avocado and rice, along with a smattering of fish eggs.īut there it is. I’ve long taken as gospel that most sushi rolls are so healthful, a regular diet of them will help you approach immortality. It was titled, “The healthiest way to eat sushi,” with a subhead that thoughtfully let us know that, “Two California rolls and an appetizer contain more calories than a Big Mac.” Now, that’s a bit of a shocker. But a recent online article did give me pause. I’m not complaining I like specialty rolls.

Like many seriously committed sushi lovers, I’ve seen my taste in sushi slowly evolve over the years from a simple lozenge of rice, topped with a slice of fish, to highly ornate, even Byzantine exotic specialty rolls, with a kitchen full of ingredients … and the fish and rice largely overwhelmed by an excess of tempura crispies, Sriracha sauce, eel sauce, avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, mayonnaise - the list goes on.
