Names like Hot Hippie, Lone Ranger, Mr. Roboto, Mrs. Perfect
\nmight not readily bring sushi rolls to mind for some, but loyal patrons at
\nKemosabe Sushi & Sake would be quick to recognize them as a sampling of
\nsome of the restaurant\u2019s sushi rolls.<\/p>\n

If the unique names didn\u2019t give it away, some of the
\ningredients found in them might help a diner understand what the restaurant\u2019s
\nwebsite describes as \u201cspecialty rolls featuring modern flavor profiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll throw steak on our sushi,\u201d said sushi chef Matthew Merrill, referring to the restaurant\u2019s All American roll, which is filled with red crab, tempura asparagus and avocado and topped with seared beef tenderloin, sweet soy and green onion oil.<\/p>\n

While the rolls might come across as inauthentic, Kemosabe\u2019s 2019 title as Best Asian Restaurant is just another bit of evidence that Assistant General Manager Roy Beinfest believes shows that Kemosabe is legit.  <\/p>\n

The restaurant actually started as a once-a-week specialty at Silverheels Bar & Grill but became popular enough that it was spun out into its own location next door. The restaurant has been in its own spot for 10 years.<\/p>\n

One dish that shows the restaurant\u2019s ability to balance traditional flavors with innovative thinking is the hamachi collar, a regular item on the specials menu. The item started with a problem: good yellowtail meat that was hard to put into a sushi dish because of the location of bones within the flesh.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we going to do with this?\u201d Beinfest said as he talked about the process of creating the dish.<\/p>\n

The answer turned out to be making a variation of a more traditional Japanese dish: hamachi kama. The meat is cooked \u2014 bones and all \u2014 and served covered in a combination of the restaurant\u2019s signature sauces. It has become popular enough that it\u2019s being considered as a potential addition to the regular menu.<\/p>\n

Besides the distinct riffs on classic Japanese dishes, Merrill and Beinfest agree on three ingredients that keep Kemosabe as a regular in Best of Summit: fresh fish, consistent product and local appeal.<\/p>\n

Kemosabe Sushi is at 605 Main St. in Frisco.<\/p>\n
