I buy sushi rolls at our supermarket. This week there are two inari sushi included. Can they be served cold (room temp) along with the other sushi, or should they be heated? Thanks
Inari should be served in room temperture like most types of sushi. Depending on the filling you can warm it up if you like, but you do not have to.
