Temaki Den is nestled within The Source Hotel + Market Hall. It's an open space, tucked among other vendors, and a dark color palette lends a modern, if moody, feel to this spot. As the name suggests, it is all about temaki, or handrolls, though they do feature aburi (flame-seared) nigiri as well. Begin with broccolini goma-ae, a nicely balanced dish of blanched bright green broccolini dressed in a sesame dressing, before moving on to temaki, available à la carte or as a set. Rolled for guests, one at a time, the Scottish salmon belly with yuzu kosho and crispy shallots is a standout. Don't skip the eggplant nigiri, seared and caramelized with miso to deliver a buttery, rich and slightly sweet knockout flavor.
