Experience a Fresh Take on Sushi at Handroll Factory at the New TOKYO CENTRAL Emeryville!

At Handroll Factory, every hand roll is crafted just for you and served one at a time—ensuring peak freshness and an engaging, interactive dining experience.

Each roll begins with warm, fluffy Hitomebore rice from Japan, carefully wrapped in crisp Ariake nori, toasted moments before serving for the perfect bite. We highlight premium ingredients such as melt-in-your-mouth bluefin tuna, delicately balanced vinegar made from Rishiri kelp stock, and a rich, house-blended soy sauce that enhances every layer of flavor. To complete the experience, our wasabi is freshly grated at ultra-low temperatures, preserving its bold aroma and clean, sharp heat.

For guests on the go, Handroll Factory also offers beautifully prepared To-Go sushi options, delivering the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship in a convenient format.

✨Blending tradition with modern creativity, Tokyo Central Handroll Factory reflects the spirit of Emeryville—inviting food lovers, creators, and the community to come together over flavor, craft, and culture. Come visit today and taste the art of the modern hand roll! 🎉
