makizushi
Wrapped rice roll
Makizushi is sushi rolled in sheets of dried seaweed, with rice and fillings like fish, vegetables, or egg wrapped into a cylinder and sliced into rounds.
The word is Japanese for "rolled sushi." Common varieties include thick rolls (futomaki) and thin rolls (hosomaki).
We ordered a plate of makizushi to share.
