While you experience the artistic Japanese delicacies at the Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo Sushi Bar, indulge in the latest addition to its extensive Sushi menu, the signature Cinnamon Lakeside California Maki.

The California Maki, also known as the California roll hails from the maki-zushi range. The roll is usually made inside-out and contains cucumber, crabmeat and avocado rolled up in sticky rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds and wrapped in a sheet of seaweed.

A popular style of sushi in the US and other countries, the California Roll has been influential in sushi’s global popularity and in inspiring sushi chefs around the world in creating non-traditional fusion cuisine.

The Sushi Bar also offers an array of both authentic and modern sushi rolls where the delicate flavours of rice, vegetables and fish are enhanced with healthy soya sauce, ginger and wasabi. It also serves classic hot dishes and desserts including the ‘Donburi’ range, noodles and Yaki Udon whilst the green tea ice cream and ginger ice cream remain favourites for dessert.

Be a part of the Japanese food experience, where diners could observe the process of preparation over the bar while being treated to a view of the serene Beira Lake beyond.

The expert sushi chefs at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo fast become friends of the health conscious. The health benefits of this type of Japanese cuisine are immense. To begin with the fish provides a lean source of low-calorie, high quality protein. It is also low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy food choice. Salmon is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to improved cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and decreased risk of abnormal heart rhythms.

The thin toasted sheets of seaweed or nori, which are flattened, cut, and wrapped around maki, contain mighty minerals. Iodine, essential for proper hormone function, is abundant in this dried sea vegetable. You will also get the benefit of magnesium, calcium, iron, and antioxidant phytonutrients and folic acid from eating rolls wrapped in nori which is also rich in Vitamin A, B-complex, Niacin and Vitamin C.
