For anyone who loves to look at those artfully arranged platters of sushi, but feels intimidated by the unidentified offerings, Ichiban co-owner Laura Miller offers a sushi primer.
The top platter contains spicy tuna maki (left) and Alaska maki with smoked salmon and crab stick. The bottom platter holds lobster crunch maki, the restaurant’s most popular roll.
