From NYC to Miami - Let's Give Temakase a Hand....Roll

Or actually....Temakase is giving you a handroll - or many of them I should say.

Straight from the East Village in New York, Temakase has made its way to the Sagamore Hotel in South Beach, bringing us in the 305 their ever popular omakase-style handrolls. Restaurateurs Liron Michaeli and Anthony Shnayderman have opened a South Beach outpost of the beloved hand roll bar, featuring the same menu as the one in the Big Apple. 

From a-la-carte menu options, to preset menus, diners can choose whether they want to pick what they're having, or be adventurous (like me) and let the chef decide (omakase). Depending on how hungry you are, you can choose from the I Could Eat, Hungry, Starving or Hangry. Guess which one we had? The Hangry of course.

The cocktails are fantastic as well, and my personal favorite way to enjoy the experience is starting off with an appetizer from the menu (like the Crispy Tuna), and then going for the omakase. The freshness of the fish is outstanding - and what truly stood out for me was the crispy seaweed that literally crackled when we bit into it coupled with their signature soft, warm rice. There was truly a flavor explosion in each handroll and we couldn't stop talking about the Truffle Blue Crab, the Toro, the Lobster Roll and the Spicy Scallop. Best part is that you literally enjoy each handroll within 30 seconds of the chef preparing it, which elevates the experience to new heights.

Hurry on over to the Sagamore Hotel in South Beach and treat yourself to an amazing experience at Temakase. Their plans are to be there for a year, so don't miss out. Because of limited capacity, reservations are highly encouraged and they can be made on Open Table. Enjoy.
