Hosomaki

One of the most popular makizushi varieties are the thin hosomaki rolls. They consist of traditional roasted nori sheets that are layered with vinegar rice, filled with just one ingredient, then shaped into thin rolls. Even though they appear in numerous versions, the most famous are the tekkamaki tuna roll and the refreshing kappamaki cucumber roll.

Cut into small bite-sized pieces and complemented with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce, hosomaki makes a perfect, healthy, and nutritious snack or a light meal.
