MAKI

MAKI Maki, or rather, makizushi, means sushi roll. This variety is made by spreading the rice on sheets of dried seaweed (nori), with fish, vegetables or fruit and then rolling everything.

Nigiri

To prepare the nigiri, a strip of fish, shellfish or other ingredients is placed on a ball of sushi rice. This variety is made without nori seaweed, although sometimes a thin strip is placed on the outside to hold the ingredients that stand out too much.

TEMAKI

The greatest one. It´s a cone made with nori seaweed that is filled with different vegetables, fish and can include a more or less spicy sauce. It is eaten like an ice cream cone.

GUNKAN

The rice is surrounded with a thick strip of seaweed to form a hole that is filled with a spoon with the chosen ingredients. The seaweed is carefully placed to surround the previously kneaded rice ball rather than making a roll.

URAMAKI

It is a makizushi wrapped inside out, with the rice on the outside. The ingredients are wrapped inside with toasted nori seaweed and then the roll is covered in a thin layer of rice. It is usually garnished with sesame or small roe.

SASHIMI

It consists mainly of raw shellfish or fish, finely cut, although not as much as a carpaccio. It is served with a sauce (soy sauce, which is salty; with wasabi, a spicy Japanese seasoning, or with ponzu sauce).
