3. Spicy sauce: A sweet and spicy sauce, often a variation of Japanese mayonnaise or gochujang (Korean chili paste), adds depth and heat to the dish.

4. Norit: Rice vinegar-soaked nori seaweed sheets wrap around the fillings, providing a crunchy texture and flavor contrast.

How to enjoy:

When ordering, you can ask for the roll to be prepared with various toppings or sauces to suit your taste. Some popular variations include:
