"Sushi tacos" sounds like something the reader would find far away, in a place like Japan. It's the kind of thing you would find in a strange and independent restaurant run by someone who has never had a chance to try authentic Japanese food, or by any of those people who enjoy mixing two types of cuisine, without worrying about the end result.
However, sushi tacos are not a product offered by a particular restaurant, but are part of one of the largest “kaitenzushi” (conveyor belt sushi) lines in Japan, the Sushiro.
It should be noted that as a casual and inexpensive restaurant, Sushiro is not as concerned with adhering to the orthodox culinary traditions of sushi. Still, Sushiro is an extremely popular restaurant chain and is not in the habit of offering new products if he is not confident that diners will be interested in trying it out.
Sushiro's sushi tacos are priced at 170 yen (about $ 1.60 each) and are ordered via a touchpad where the diner is sitting, just like any other order at one of these restaurants. .
According to a product review by SoraNews24, the sushi taco is a crispy, hard tortilla taco, with a filling of ground beef and pork, shredded lettuce, sliced onion, cheese, and sushi rice with vinegar. The review praised the perfect combination of rice with vinegar, in the complement of all flavors.
Like many of Sushiro's other offerings, the sushi taco will be available for a limited time. In hindsight, it is considered unusual that this dish contains no seafood, yet this restaurant chain never ceases to amaze, after all they also created a sushi hot-dog in the past.
