What Is Sushi?
Sushi is one of the most famous dishes in Japanese cuisine.
At its core, sushi consists of specially seasoned rice combined with fish, seafood, vegetables, or other ingredients. It is traditionally served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
Today, sushi has evolved into many different styles while maintaining its focus on freshness, balance, and quality ingredients.
Main Types of Sushi
Nigiri
Nigiri is one of the most traditional forms of sushi.
It consists of a small portion of sushi rice topped with a slice of fish or seafood.
A typical nigiri contains approximately:
- 10 g of sushi rice;
- 15 g of fish or seafood.
Rolls
Rolls are prepared using rice, fish, seafood, and other ingredients wrapped in nori seaweed and cut into 6–8 pieces.
They are among the most popular sushi varieties worldwide.
Hand Rolls
Hand rolls are cone-shaped sushi wrapped in nori and filled with rice, fish, and seafood.
They are designed to be eaten by hand immediately after preparation.
Gunkan
Gunkan sushi consists of rice wrapped with nori and topped with ingredients that cannot easily be placed on nigiri, such as roe, seafood mixtures, or finely chopped fish.

Hosomaki are thin sushi rolls traditionally prepared with a single main ingredient.
Their simplicity highlights the quality of the fish and the balance of flavors.
