sushi rolls

Rice wrapped fish

Sushi rolls are cylindrical pieces of Japanese cuisine made by wrapping rice and fillings—typically raw fish, vegetables, or seafood—in seaweed (nori), then slicing into bite-sized rounds.

American variations like the California roll often feature cooked ingredients.

Inside-out rolls have rice on the outside.

We ordered a platter of sushi rolls to share.
