NIGIRI - ZUSHI / MAKI - ZUSHI

 

NIGIRI - ZUSHI

The most skillful - amd often the most expensive - form of sushi. The vinegared rice is formed into an oval shape in the palm of the left hand, then is topped by a thin smear of wasabi and a thin slice of fresh raw seafood. Nigiri-Zushi are always served in pairs.

 

   

MAKI - ZUSHI

In this rolled suhi, the vinegared rice is spread on sheets of toasted nori seaweed, topped by a line of filling, rolled up then pressed in a special bamboo mat and finally cut across into pieces.
