I know that sushi isn’t something that you immediately think of when the word vegetarian comes up, but I like to try new vegetable rolls when I get the opportunity. I went to Masamoto with some of my coworkers for lunch. I’m sorry that I never went before – I didn’t know what I was missing! The restaurant is in a strip mall off of Concord Pike, nestled next to a Five Guys. The interior is very streamlined – crisp lines, minimal decorations, but nice. I had a bit of a decision to make since they have more vegetable rolls than other sushi restaurants I have visited. I decided to go with the House Salad and the Eggplant Roll.
The salad was just lettuce with cucumber and tomato. I ordered the ginger dressing on the side and it was fantastic. Sweet and tangy are good adjectives to describe it. The Eggplant Roll was warm, but not tempura. It had a very good sauce on it, slightly sweet. Pretty good – no outstanding flavors, but a good roll with a creamy center.
