Mosonori and Sushi Saint will soon have a new contender for hand roll supremacy in this town.<\/p>\n

Omakai Hand Roll Bar<\/a>, the Miami-based temaki joint from the same folks behind Omakai Sushi, will roll into Mills 50 next year offering an intimate, counter-style dining experience centered around those cylinders of seaweed-wrapped seafood served directly from chef to guest.<\/p>\n

Omakai will open at 845 N. Mills Ave. (map<\/a>) in the building that previously housed Ultimate Carts. An opening timeline hasn\u2019t been determined as yet, but given the building will need to be retrofitted to become restaurant-ready, it most certainly won\u2019t be this year.<\/p>\n

The key element to any good hand roll is, of course, the nori \u2014 Omakai will toast their seaweed sheets prior to wrapping and serving to ensure a crisp first bite. Fish and seafood fillings will be sourced from around the world, including Japan, the South Pacific, the Mediterranean and the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Orlando has some great existing hand roll concepts<\/a>, our focus is on delivering the Omakai experience through high-quality ingredients, approachable pricing and an engaging, chef-driven dining experience,\u201d said a company spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Menu prices at Omakai\u2019s downtown Miami location run from $15 for three rolls to $34 for the \u201cOmakai Experience<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beer, wine and sake will also be offered.<\/p>\n

And while hand rolls are really meant to be enjoyed immediately, Omakai has drawn a good amount of fanfare for their to-go options, the \u201cHomeakase Boxes\u201d in particular.<\/p>\n
