Maki Sushi
Maki is sushi rice and fillings rolled in nori and sliced into rounds. Thin rolls (hosomaki) hold one filling — tuna, cucumber, pickled radish; thick rolls (futomaki) layer several. The rice-outside 'California roll' style is largely an overseas invention that has only partly filtered back. Vegetable rolls such as kappa (cucumber) and kanpyo (gourd) are among the few reliably vegetarian sushi options.
