What’s a nigiri-sushi ? Sashimi, have you ever heard of that ? It\u2019s not always easy to tell the difference\u2026we know.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t panic ! MITO to the rescue !<\/p>\n

To help you see more clearly, here\u2019s our Sushi 101<\/strong> guide to all the different types of sushi.<\/p>\n

What are the primary types of sushi ?<\/h2>\n

Maki-sushi<\/h3>\n

Maki\u2019s are \u2013 like their name in Japanese indicates \u2013 \u2018sushi rolls\u2019. They are built with a roll of toasted seaweed<\/a> and vinegar infused Calrose sushi rice<\/a> . You will also find different types of vegetables and other ingredients like fresh cheese, fish and even eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The ingredients in a maki aren\u2019t set in stone and many different variations exist. With fish or without, with white cheese or without, with avocados or without\u2026everything is possible. In this way, it\u2019s very easy to find vegetarian or fish options.<\/p>\n

Futomakis<\/h3>\n

In Japanese, \u2018futomaki\u2019<\/a> signifies \u2018large maki\u2019. This is exactly what a futomaki is, a large maki.<\/p>\n

Futomakis are maki-sushi\u2019s with a diameter of 5 to 6 centimeters. They are toasted seaweed sheets rolled with different ingredients on the inside. Generally, we find \u2013 other than the rice and vinegar \u2013 cucumbers, sweet red peppers, carrots, avocado, fresh fish and sometimes cooked eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Different types of futomaki\u2019s exist. As you might know, an extremely popular type of futomaki is the \u2018California roll\u2019 that contains cucumber, crab, avocado as well as the usual toasted seaweed and rice, all sprinkled with sesame seeds. MITO is proud to offer you a revisited version of this classic with a touch of masago and egg omelette.<\/p>\n

Hosomakis<\/h3>\n

Hosomaki\u2019s<\/a> are like the little brother of maki-sushi.<\/p>\n

With a less wide diameter (around 2-3 centimeters), they are the smallest of the maki-sushi. That is why their name, to the contrary of futomaki, means \u2018thin roll\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These sushi\u2019s are generally made with 2 ingredients: one type of vegetable or a single type of protein all tucked in a roll of delicious vinegar infused rice.<\/p>\n

Cooking tip: Hosomaki-sushi\u2019s are reputed to being the simplest of the sushi to prepare. Therefore, they are the best starting point to perfect your maki rolling technique.<\/p>\n

Nigiris<\/h3>\n

Nigiris<\/a> are amongst the most well-known sushi. They are balls of vinegar infused rice \u2018shari\u2019 on which we place a type of protein (most commonly fish).
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMore recently in the history of sushi, around the 19th century, nigiris became a daily staple dish in Japan (for more \u2018ancient\u2019 types of sushi, we would have to go all the way back to 5th century BC).<\/p>\n

Sashimis<\/h3>\n

Regularly confused with nigiris, sashimis<\/a> are in fact thinly sliced raw fish (often tuna) but without the base of rice. Savor them as is or with a delicious sushi sauce<\/a> , spicy mayo<\/a> or MITO\u2019s own kami sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there you have it ! You now know everything (or almost everything) about the different types of sushi.<\/p>\n

Now you don\u2019t have to have a fright when your Itamae (chef) at your MITO counter asks you what type of sushi you want to savor. All this will also help you impress your friends when the question comes up: So, what exactly is a nigiri-sushi ?<\/p>\n

You can answer that question and become the star of the night !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
