A sampler in roll form

The rainbow roll starts with a California roll base and then drapes the outside with overlapping slices of sashimi — usually tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp. The result is colorful, and it lets you taste several fish in one bite.

Raw on the outside

Unlike the cooked California base, the fish on top is raw, so the rainbow roll is a real raw-fish dish dressed up in a friendly format.

Calories

Roughly 350–500 per roll — higher than a plain California roll because of all that fish (and a little more rice to support it), but protein-rich.
