Osaka-trained chef Masaaki Koyama’s takeaway-only sushi and sashimi is sold by the person, rather than the piece, with $24 per head tasting boxes available weekends only. Your options are seafood, vegetarian or vegan, and the weekly selection is dictated by what the local boats bring in. The demand is as high as the quality, so we recommend ordering ahead. 17 Arve Rd, Geeveston; masaaki.com.au.

Playing into the adage of doing one thing and doing it well, R. Takagi makes superb handrolls but does not have an online presence. Salmon, tuna and tamago-filled rolls are served at optimum temperature, their seaweed exteriors with just the right amount of bite. There’s no single-use plastic in sight, either, with take-away orders wrapped into paper bonbons. 132 Liverpool St, Hobart.

This is a sushi train scenario – order via the on-table iPad and within a few minutes, tiny plates will zoom towards you. The ‘volcano roll’ is filled with scorched salmon and topped with chilli mayo and there’s a worthy unagi (eel), carrot, cucumber and camembert option. Knock it all back with a Japanese beer or a Tasmanian wine. 254 Charles St, Launceston 17 Castray Esplanade, Battery Point; facebook.com/KosatenLaunceston.

The Shari sushi truck gets around on the weekends. It could be a produce market, a Bunnings carpark or a festival. Omakase boxes of neatly arranged tuna, salmon and lobster sashimi and hand-formed nigiri are pre-order only, while the temaki sushi, a cone-shaped seaweed roll brimming with fish and pickled vegetables, is a hit. Various locations; instagram.com/shari.hobart.

It’s all about the combo deal at Wafu, an unassuming sushi stand in the Centrepoint mall. Mix and match from a selection of hand-rolls and nigiri and add a spoonful of Japanese-inspired salad. Fillings are whacky, in a good way, think black rice and rainbow veg, fried chicken with chipotle mayo, or tempura eggplant and crispy squid. 70 Murray St, Hobart; wafusushi.com.au.
