uramaki

Rice-outside Japanese roll

Uramaki is a style of sushi roll made inside-out, with rice on the outside and nori (seaweed) wrapped around the filling.

The exposed rice is often coated with sesame seeds or fish roe.

California rolls and rainbow rolls are common uramaki: I ordered the spicy tuna uramaki.
