Tamu

Tamu is one of the newer additions to Fulton Market's dining scene, known for its fresh hand rolls and omakase experience. As a sushi lover, I was excited to try their Temaki Hand Roll Bar, which offers a wide selection of classic and signature rolls prepared right in front of you. I decided to order the Chef’s Choice Set, which includes four classic hand rolls and one signature hand roll. Each roll was packed with flavor and featured high-quality, fresh ingredients.

Here’s what was included in my Chef’s Choice Set:

• Kani: blue crab, yuzu kewpie, masago

• Gochujang Shiromi: amberjack, gochujang

• Sake: marinated salmon, sweet onion

• Spicy Sake: spicy minced salmon, masago

• Unagi: freshwater eel, crispy onion

I also added one more roll — the Spicy Akami with minced bluefin tuna and masago — which was the perfect way to round out my meal.

Each hand roll was perfectly wrapped, fresh, and flavorful. I loved the balance of textures and spice levels throughout the set. Tamu Chicago is the perfect spot for sushi lovers looking to try a variety of hand rolls or enjoy a casual omakase-style experience in a modern, stylish setting. Next time, I’ll probably order a la carte to mix and match my own selection — there were so many other rolls I wanted to taste!
