Russian Roulette Roll at Tataki South, $15
This roll is a game changer in more ways than one. Not only does it take inspiration from the Russian pastime of deadly chance, it also has a shot glass full of milky sake in the middle (more on that later!). Ordering this plate gets you five pieces of crawfish, cucumber, and asparagus wrapped in bright yellow rice paper, that’s sprinkled with scallops, and drizzled with sweet miso sauce. Here’s the catch: One of the rolls is filled with major heat-inducing habenero sauce! Intended for sharing, whoever grabs hold of the fiery roll has to down the extinguishing sake. No doubt, it’s worth the gamble!

Tataki South, 1740 Church Street (at Day Street); 415-282-1889.
