Sushi is a phenomenal dish from Japan that is well-known all around the world. There are many kinds of sushi, but do you know the differences between them?
1. Nigiri
A topping, usually fish, served on top of sushi rice. Not all nigiri is raw, though this dish is best for people who want to appreciate the flavor of the fish, shellfish, or other toppings.
2. Sashimi
Fish or shellfish served alone (no rice). This is best for people who really love to taste the fish or shellfish since it comes with nothing else.
3. Maki
Rice and filling wrapped in seaweed. This is what most people think of when they think of sushi rolls.
4. Uramaki
Similar to the above, but rice is on the outside and seaweed wraps around the filling. These rolls often have lots of toppings and sauces — they may either be cooked or raw.
5. Temaki
Sushi that has been hand-rolled into a cone shape. The cones are not as easy to share as the rolls.
