In Eastlake, Sushi Nori does temaki handroll sushi as well as a $68 omakase menu.

I watch rice being compressed down onto a sheet of nori as if it may try to escape, then lobster salad spooned unevenly atop it; the cylindrical temaki that disgorges a glob out one end.

Uminori in Madison Valley specializes in temaki or cone-shaped rolls.

This temaki sushi bar will offer 35 cone-shaped hand rolls, featuring everything from sustainably sourced seafood to 10 different vegetarian and vegan options.

Two years ago, the chefs Taka Sakaeda and Jihan Lee, with their partner, the operations director Lisa Limb, established a branch of this restaurant in the West Village, an elegantly spare, pale space specializing in temaki, the open hand rolls.
