The American-style sushi chain Rock N Roll Sushi is rolling into October with the debut of three exciting new menu items: the Hot Hot Honey Roll, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, and the Sake Mule.
Available from October 7, 2024, through until December 31, 2024, all of Rock N Roll Sushi's new menu items offer innovative twists on classic Japanese ingredients. For instance, the new Hot Hot Honey Roll pairs fresh yellowfin tuna with crunchy cucumber, kampachi, jalapeño, and avocado. The whole roll is then finished with house-made hot honey, spicy mayo, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh green onions. On the other hand, the new Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice consists of squares of crispy rice topped with Rock N’ Roll Sushi’s signature spicy tuna, sliced jalapeños, ponzu, spicy mayo, house-made hot honey, toasted sesame seeds, and green onions.
Both of the new dishes pair well with the new Sake Mule, which is made with sake, ginger ale and fresh lime juice.
