Little Saba: Sushi Story

Grandma Ume's tiny sushi counter on Saba Harbor is yours now. Keep it warm, keep it open, and roll your way into the hearts of the whole harbor. Little Saba: Sushi Story is a cozy cooking game about listening. Every customer tells you their order in their own words. Some are simple. Some are riddles. "The fish that swims upstream, but only on half of it, and hold the wasabi." Work out what they really want, then make it by hand. ROLL IT BY HAND • Spread the rice across the nori with your finger • Drag fillings onto the left half, the right half or both • Roll the bamboo mat at just the right moment for a snug roll • Coat the outside with sesame or roe • Torch the top once for aburi, twice for well seared, and don't burn it! • Cut into four, six or eight pieces • Plate it with soy, wasabi and ginger, or leave them off if they ask Later you'll shape nigiri, slice sashimi and fry golden shrimp tempura. EVERY PLATE IS JUDGED FAIRLY After serving, a clear card shows every rule the customer asked for with a check or a cross, plus your accuracy. Better accuracy and more patience mean bigger tips. Three perfect orders in a row start a streak bonus. A STORY THAT KEEPS MOVING • Chapter 1: a flashy conveyor-belt chain, Spin Sushi, opens across the street.
