Years ago, chef James Corwell was asked to create a line of vegetarian sushi for a party. Today's vegetarian sushi options are decent at best (sweet potato rolls) and insulting at worst (cucumber rolls, really?). So he started thinking about tomatoes. Like raw fish, seaweed, and soy sauce, they're high in savory components. It's not too much of a stretch, he thought, to lump tomatoes into the same category.
