Volcano Sushi Explained

What is Volcano Sushi?

Volcano sushi, a popular dish in American sushi restaurants, features a volcano of cream cheese nestled atop a California roll. The cream cheese is set ablaze with a touch of alcohol, creating a dramatic fiery effect.

Components:

  • Sushi rice
    seasoned vinegared rice forms the base of the California roll.
  • Seafood
    Typically includes avocado, cucumber, and crab meat.
  • Cream cheese
    Softened cream cheese forms the "volcano" in the center.
  • Alcohol
    Usually sake or brandy is used to ignite the cream cheese.
  • Garnishes
    Topped with avocado slices, toasted sesame seeds, and occasionally soy sauce.
  • The Performance:

    1. The sushi chef cuts the California roll in half.

    2. They then carefully scoop out a depression in the center.

    3. A generous dollop of cream cheese is placed in the depression.

    4. The chef adds a splash of alcohol to the cream cheese and, with a flourish, ignites it with a mini-torch.

    5. The fire is allowed to die down, leaving behind a slightly browned, molten-looking "volcano."

    6. The sushi is then finished with sliced avocado, sesame seeds, and soy sauce.

    Taste and Experience:

    The explosion of flavors combines creamy cheese with the fresh taste of avocado and the savory notes of crab meat. The combination creates a unique and memorable dining experience.

    Tips:

  • Ask for the sushi chef's recommendation if you're unsure which alcohol to choose.
  • Be careful when the volcano is served. The dish can be very hot.
  • Share the experience with friends! It's a great conversation starter.
  • Additional Facts:

  • The dish is believed to have originated in California sushi restaurants in the 1990s.
