Makizushi: The Popular Sushi Rolls in USA

What is Makizushi?

Makizushi, also known as California rolls, are a popular sushi dish consisting of seaweed (nori) enclosing rice, fish, vegetables, and other fillings rolled together into a cylindrical shape. They are commonly found on menus at Japanese restaurants in the USA.

Common Fillings:

  • Fish
    Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, mackerel, shrimp, crab sticks, etc.
  • Vegetables
    Avocado, cucumber, carrots, asparagus, tobiko (fish eggs), etc.
  • Extras
    Avocado slices, spicy sauce, soy sauce, wasabi (horseradish) and pickling ginger.

    • Types of Makizushi:

  • Inside-out rolls
    Seaweed is placed on the outside, with fillings inside.
  • Outside-out rolls
    Fillings are placed inside the seaweed.
  • Vegetarian rolls
    Replace fish with vegetables like tofu, avocado or mushrooms.

    • Common Variations:

  • Temaki
    Thickened rice mixture with fish, vegetables, and other ingredients rolled in seaweed. More like sushi hand rolls.
  • Uramaki
    Rolls where the seaweed is placed inside, resulting in a white exterior.
  • Philadelphia roll
    Americanized version with cream cheese, cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon.

    • Tips for Ordering Makizushi:

  • If you're unsure what to order, ask for recommendations.
  • Be sure to specify any allergies or preferences (e.g., no seafood).
  • Look for happy hour specials for discounted rolls.

    • Common Phrases:

  • "Can I get a salmon roll?"
  • "I'd like a veggie roll, please."
  • "Can I have a California roll with avocado?"

    • Remember:

  • The term "California roll" is often used interchangeably with "makizushi" in the US.
  • While makizushi is generally safe to eat, ask about any cross-contamination concerns.
