Sushi Maki Set 巻寿司

Maki refers to any type of sushi which is made in a roll with sushi rice, toasted seaweed nori, and various fillings. The word maki means “roll,” and most people who have eaten sushi have consumed maki in some form or another.

As with any cuisine, the seasonings are important. In Sushi the vital flavors come from soy sauce and wasabi. The soy sauce is used as a dipping sauce and the wasabi is usually included in the making of the sushi. The most important side ingredient is picked ginger. The ginger is eaten between bites of sushi to cleanse the mouth for each new taste sensation and is vital to the enjoyment of the meal.

Maki are very easy to make at home.
