Why Our Sushi Rice Stands Out in Dubai?

Sourced from Japan

We use only premium Japanese rice for sushi, short-grain varieties prized for their subtle flavor and perfect texture. Imported directly from trusted suppliers, our rice is stored in climate-controlled conditions right here in Dubai to retain freshness and authenticity in every grain.

Expert Preparation

Our chefs prepare sushi rice using traditional methods. The rice is rinsed, soaked, steamed, and delicately seasoned with a balanced mix of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. This process brings out the mild umami that complements every handroll, nigiri, and sushi roll on our menu.

Passed the Chopstick Test

The right rice for sushi should hold its form without falling apart, staying sticky yet light. At Ram & Roll, our sushi rice passes the chopstick test; never dry, never mushy, just perfectly fluffy and flavorful. It’s the foundation that enhances every sushi creation we serve.

Signature Dishes Featuring Sushi Rice

Nigiri Selection

Experience the purity of sushi rice paired with melt-in-your-mouth cuts of tuna, salmon, or prawn. Each piece is a delicate balance of temperature, texture, and taste, highlighting the quality of the rice just as much as the fish on top.

Handrolls

Every handroll at Ram & Roll starts with a warm bed of seasoned Japanese sushi rice, layered with premium seafood or crisp vegetables, then wrapped in crisp seaweed. It’s a handheld delight that offers both texture and tradition in every bite.

Sushi Rolls

From spicy tuna to dragon rolls, our creations celebrate traditional flavors while embracing innovation. The secret? A consistent layer of fluffy, vinegared sushi rice that brings all the components together in perfect harmony.

The Perfect Pairings for Sushi Rice

Artisanal Soy Sauce & Wasabi

Elevate your sushi experience with our carefully selected condiments. The soft acidity of our rice enhances the sharp heat of wasabi and umami-rich soy sauce, creating a bite that’s layered and complete. It’s more than a dip; it’s a ritual.

Japanese Teas & Yuzu Sodas

Balance the richness of your sushi with refreshing drinks like cold-brewed green tea or sparkling yuzu soda. These beverages cleanse the palate and complement the clean, delicate flavor of Japanese sushi rice, making every bite feel new.

Gallery

See the beauty in simplicity. Our curated gallery shows how every grain of sushi rice, every slice of fish, and every roll comes together in precise, colorful harmony. From our open sushi bar to your plate, this is sushi, done right.
