Large Nori Maki Tray / Noodle Tray

Makizushi, also known as “norimaki,” is a style of sushi in which rice and other ingredients are delicately folded in nori seaweed and then cut into smaller pieces. Makizushi is thought to have been invented in the early 1700s, shortly after sheet nori was invented using a similar technique to make paper. The name norimaki is derived from two Japanese words: “maki,” which means “to roll,” and “nori,” which refers to the toasted nori seaweed sheet used to wrap the fillings.

Hosomaki are long, thin rolls with only one component, such as a strip of raw tuna, cucumber, or pickled daikon. Futomaki (futo means fat in Japanese) is a fatter version of makizushi that contains a range of complementary ingredients. Futomaki is less common in sushi restaurants in Japan than it is in other countries, although it can be found in bento boxes and supermarkets.

Uramaki, often known as “inside-out sushi” in English, is a modern take on makizushi that is thought to have originated in California in the 1960s. It’s made by placing rice on the bamboo sushi mat, then laying the nori sheet on top, followed by the remaining components, and rolling it up. It’s frequently rolled in sesame seeds, which stick to the outside rice readily or sprinkled with tobiko fish eggs for added crunch.
