At KIBOU, we love showcasing the many faces of Japanese cuisine, from comforting bowls of ramen to the delicate artistry of sashimi. But one style that’s been turning heads (and tempting tastebuds) recently is Open Temaki – a playful, personal way to enjoy some of the best Japanese flavours around.
What Is Open Temaki?
If you’re not familiar, Temaki means “hand roll” – sushi that’s typically rolled into a cone and eaten with your hands. Our Open Temaki takes that idea and gives it a fresh spin: a colourful spread of ingredients, beautifully presented, and ready to be hand-rolled at the table by you.
It’s interactive, customisable, and – let’s be honest – seriously fun.
A Taste of Regional Japan, Brought to Life
Open Temaki is rooted in kaiseki cuisine, Japan’s elegant and seasonal approach to dining that balances flavour, texture and aesthetics in every bite. These dishes are designed to be both visually stunning and deeply satisfying, celebrating premium ingredients and letting them shine.
Inspired by experiences in Tokyo’s omakase and kaiseki restaurants, our take on Open Temaki captures the spirit of regional Japanese dining, where the joy of eating goes hand-in-hand with creativity and connection.
Choose Your Flavour Adventure
Each Open Temaki comes with everything you need to roll, fold and enjoy your sushi just the way you like it. Current choices include:
-
🍣 Salmon & Avocado – a silky, creamy favourite with perfect balance
-
🦪 Scallop with Ginger, Soy & Ikura – luxurious, layered, and full of texture
-
🥬 Yasai (Fried Tofu & Vegetables) – bright, crunchy and full of plant-powered goodness
Whether you’re rolling solo or sharing with friends, there’s something deeply satisfying about building your own perfect bite – especially when the ingredients are this fresh.
A Fresh Experience, Every Time
Open Temaki is about more than just what’s on the plate – it’s about the experience. It invites you to slow down, be hands-on, and really enjoy the best of Japanese food in a way that feels personal and social.
So next time you’re at KIBOU, give it a go. Roll your own, share the moment, and discover why Open Temaki is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about dishes on our menu.
