Tips

  • Ask about healthy alternatives such as brown rice.
  • Fill up on fiber rich edamame or a side salad before dinner.  Sushi rolls can add up!
  • Tempura, agemono and katsu are fancy names for fried.
  • Skip sushi rolls that are made with creamy sauces or mayo.  If you’re not sure, ask.
  • Keep in mind that miso, soy sauce and teriyaki sauce are high in sodium.
