Sushi Rolls Explained

                                                                        すし, 寿司, 鮨

Sushi is a type of Japanese food consisting of vinegared rice. It is usually made with fish and vegetables, however there are a lot of variants.

Different Types

Raw fish (or sometimes meat) sliced and served without rice is called "sashimi".

The wrapping paper for rolls is called "Nori" Nori is a type of Algae.

"Maki" (which means roll) is rolled sushi usually wrapped in Nori

"Nigiri" is a slice of raw meat or fish mounted on top of vinegared rice

"Wasabi" is a green plant which when consumed is tasted very hot, and it is used to spice the things up, and change the taste when eating different types of sushi. It is not considered a sushi, but a sauce.

SUSHI REVIEW

I tried this set of different maki rolls, including my favorite one: the Philadelphia roll, which includes Philadelphia cheese, salmon, and cucumber. Other roll was a hot baked roll, which is really good, because usually the rolls are served cold and raw. 

Conclusion

In the future I will try more different types of food of course, unless I want to starve to death, and I will post more blogs. I have learned that adding wasabi to say sauce is really nice, and it adds more taste to the sushi. I also learned a lot about the food I ate, and its really interesting, because usually people don't know background information about the stuff they consume.
