Sushi refers to the rice. (BTW, we haven't been eating sushi as much in the past couple of years, so forgive me if my memory misses a couple). Sashimi is generally the raw fish w/o anything else. Nigiri is slices of, generally raw fish, on little clump of rice. Maki is the stuff most everyone is familiar with, rice rolled with Nori (seaweed) and vegetables and fish. Futomaki is generally a Big Maki or a big roll. It's actually called a Big Roll here.
Chirashi is another form of sashimi where the slices of raw fish is just laid on top of a big bowl of rice. Mrs. gets that a lot.
Temaki is the ice cream cone shaped thing sometimes referred to as a "hand roll"
California roll is a maki roll with roe
'bout all I can remember at the moment. |
I AM impressed, Mrs and Paragon! We have sushi, sashimi, chirashi, temaki, futomaki on practically every corner here! I wouldn't have thought you'd have so much in MS. to actually know the types! Geeez, well done!
(Our California roll has pieces of faux crab, cucumber and avocado wrapped in rice and seaweed.
