If you don’t know what to eat, state your budget to the master and then tell him “ omakase de onegaishimasu,” which means leaving the selection of sushi to the master’s recommendation according to which fish are in-season. Originally, “sushi” was a form of preserving fish, introduced to Japan in the 8th century from Southeast Asia; this involved wrapping a piece of gutted fish in fermented rice. This allowed for fish to be stored for several months, but surprisingly, the rice was thrown away. Later, the preserved fish was eaten with rice, Japan’s staple food, and was called nare-zushi, which can still be found today.

Tokyo is famous for many things, but beaches are not one of them. Outside of the city limits, however, the prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba, and Shizuoka have thriving beach scenes. It’d be overselling to call these spots world-class – head to Okinawa for that – but if you’re in and around the capital during the summer and crave a little surf, there are many great options. For the Inarizushi with toppings, I made cooked prawns with diced avocado and seasoned pork mince (ground pork) with Iri Tamago (finely scrambled egg). You can find how to cook seasoned mince (ground meat) and Iri Tamago in my post, Sanshoku Bento (Tri-coloured Rice Bowl). Many sushi restaurants are only open during the night, though some sushi restaurants offer their services during lunch; some restaurants may even offer a special lunch menu (such as a bowl of chirashi-zushi) at much more reasonable prices. Beaches in Japan have an official season, which usually coincides with the summer school holiday, from mid-July through August. During this time, popular beaches like Katase Higashihama will have umi-no-ie – “beach huts” that rent umbrellas and chaises and sell drinks and not very good food. This is also when lifeguards are present. However, a visit outside of the season is still possible, and this is when the beaches are at their most pleasantly uncrowded.Most Asian and Japanese grocery stores also sell the Japanese brand short grain rice, e.g. Koshihikari. See the sample bag of Koshihikari rice in my post, How to Cook Rice the Japanese Way. Kaiten-zushi restaurants also tend to have more innovative and non-sushi menus compared to formal sushi restaurants; many have various side dishes and desserts, as well as strange combinations of sushi that seem suspect at first but are actually not bad at all.

They are geared more towards families; not only is the sight of sushi plates arriving to you on a conveyor-belt exciting for children and adults alike, but prices are much reasonable, although not nearly as high quality (but still very good). I always wonder why they add “mum” at the end, expecting me to get everything ready. But now that I am posting temakizushi, they can prepare it and I can be invited for a change. About sushi rice In the square bowl on the bottom right – Hikiwari nattō (挽き割り納豆, finely chopped fermented soya beans). Gunkan-maki– The same as a nigiri-zushi but with a piece of seaweed wrapped around it. Sea urchin and salmon roe are often in gunkan-maki form If you can’t get the cooked aburaage pouch, don’t worry. In the next post, I will introduce a recipe for Home-made Inari Sushi which explains how to make seasoned aburaage from scratch. How to make Inari Sushi

So, I usually cut it into a quarter as you can see in the other photos. This will not easily let you make a perfect cone shape as the yakinori sheet is not long enough. But hey, it is self-serve and I am not really fussed about how it looks. You could make a small roll like the photos below as well! Cutting ingredients for temakizushi
