Tataki is a Japanese way of preparing meat or fish by searing it very briefly over a hot flame or pan.
Here’s a peek at what you might find on a typical restaurant’s tataki menu.
Appetizers and side orders
No tataki menu is complete without some small plates to start the meal. You’ll often see gyoza, those delicious little pan-fried dumplings, on offer.
Side orders are the perfect complement to your main meal. Miso soup, with its savory, umami broth, is a popular choice, as is a refreshing seaweed salad.
Sushi and Maki Rolls
No tataki menu would be complete without a selection of sushi and maki rolls.
Classic Rolls
You’ll find familiar favorites like the California Roll and the Philadelphia Roll.
Special Rolls
These rolls feature unique and creative combinations of flavors and textures. If the menu includes a “Tataki Special,” be sure to highlight it, describing its ingredients and artful presentation.
