Fumisen


Top left: B, Top right: C, Bottom: Mine
A while back B, C, and I got the munchies so went to a spot where 3 food trailers (Fumisen, Shoryumen, and Tenku Bakudanyaki) are located, across RiverRock Casino to grab some Tenku Bakudanyaki - for those who don't know, Tenku Bakudanyaki is basically a really big takoyaki filled with various ingredients such as vegetables, shrimp, octopus, quail egg, and etc. Unfortunately for us, the trailer was out being serviced, so we opted for Fumisen instead. Fumisen is the customizable sushi cone trailer! There are a few sizes at different prices, ranging from $3.75-$8.50, and you can fill them up with various ingredients. B went for a medium cone filled with salmon rice, BBQ unagi, sweet egg, tobiko, and topped with wasamayo. I had a medium cone as well with salmon rice, salmon sashimi, avocado, tobiko, and wasamayo. C chose a combination of both of ours: salmon rice, BBQ unagi, avocado, tobiko and wasamayo for the sauce also.

I love how, unlike most sushi restaurants, these cones are not rice balls with all the toppings literally on the top. You get a good bite of both rice and topping from the beginning of the cone all the way to the end. It's not our first time at Fumisen, and each time I come, I always feel like one cone is never enough. Good thing I have a bit of self-discipline or I'll be hopping over to trailer after trailer!

P.S. Although these food trailers are located outdoors, they do have an enclosed sit-down area; complete with mismatched seating arrangements and a heater!

  4. It's in a parking lot across from riverrock casino and bridgeport station, I'm not sure of the exact address though.
