Hand Rolls — Simple, Fresh, and Made by Hand

At Yasumi in Santa Teresa, hand rolls are passed directly across the counter: crisp nori, warm rice, and fresh Pacific fish. A break, day off, or holiday.

Behind the Craft

Every hand roll is made to order and passed directly across the counter within seconds. Nori is kept ultra-crisp in a gently warmed box; rice is seasoned for balance; cuts are precise and minimal. It's a simple ritual designed for peak texture, temperature, and pause.
