ON A ROLL

Ever wonder how sushi chefs plate up a perfect roll every single time? We’ve got the answer—at least for Ken Wolf and Jeff Osaka’s SUSHI-RAMA. The team, which just opened a third location in Lone Tree, gets a little help from 410 Nigiri and 865 Maki, rice printing machines. “We pour in prepared sushi rice and, for sushi roll sheets, it’s separated and pressed evenly by rollers into a mold,” Osaka says. The 865 Maki can make 1,300 sheets an hour that are slightly warmed—the ideal temperature, Osaka says. “A misconception is that fish should be really cold and rice should be at room temperature, but warm rice and room temperature fish is really the proper way.”
