Product Information

If short grain is not available, you could use medium grain rice but other grain such as long grain, and Jasmine rice are not suited for sushi. Sushi Vinegar Sushi masters, or taisho, take great pride in their work, treating sushi-making almost like an art after decades of training; thus, it’s essential to know the different manners involved in eating sushi and making the most out of the delicious experience. Table of contents 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. 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. Side dish 1: Octopus and Cucumber Sunomono (Vinegar Dressing) – alternatively, Cucumber and Seaweed Sunomono

Over the years, nare-zushi evolved according to each region’s specialities; in Osaka, oshi-zushi became popular, while Shiga is still renowned for its funa-zushi from Lake Biwa. The modern version of Inarizushi is more decorative with colourful toppings, as you can see some of them in my photos. To decorate Inarizushi with toppings, leave the pouch open without covering and place a couple of toppings on the rice. The toppings can be almost anything as long as they go well with sushi rice. A plate of sushi (usually two of one kind) usually costs from around 100 yen (such as egg) to 600 yen (such as fatty tuna and sea urchin). Thus, you could easily stuff yourself with sushi and not pay more than 1000 or 2000 yen! Kaiten-zushi is a great form of fast food - not only affordable, but also healthy. I called it ‘Inari Sushi’ so that my readers will know that this is a sushi recipe. But in Japan, it is called ‘Inarizushi’ (いなり寿司 or 稲荷寿司), changing the sound ‘sushi’ to ‘zushi’ for easier pronunciation.Among the various sushi recipes, Inari Sushi is one of the easiest. Unlike other types of sushi, Inari Sushi is very sweet and some people eat it at tea times. What is Inari Sushi When you turn the pouch inside out, you will get quite a different texture and the colour of the aburaage is lighter. The method of making inside out Inarizushi is the same as the traditional one. Decorating Inarizushi with Toppings Here are some tips and manners for eating sushi (usually applied to when eating at proper sushi restaurants): The aburaage comes in two vacuum sealed bags. Each bag contains 8 cooked aburaage pouches. If the bag is still vacuum sealed, it keeps quite a while and there is no need to refrigerate it. But once opened, you should keep it in the fridge and use it in few days. 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.

You can roll almost anything when it comes to temakizushi. Traditional ingredients are those similar to nigirizushi, i.e. raw fish such as tuna and kingfish, cooked prawns (shrimps), dashimaki tamago (Japanese rolled omelette), and cucumber. The name of this sushi is associated with a type of shrine called ‘ Inari Shrine’, which used to worship the deity, Inari. It is said that the favourite food of the fox, the messenger of Inari, was aburaage (deep fried thin tofu) so people offered aburaage to the shrine. It has generally been said that sushi tastes better when eaten rice-up, although this is according to preference.

Inari Sushi is sushi rice in a pouch made of seasoned aburaage (deep fried thin tofu). It is sweet but it complements the sourness of sushi rice. It is quite simple to make Inari Sushi, particularly when you use store-bought seasoned aburaage.

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 You could buy sushi vinegar from the supermarket or Asian grocery store instead of making it from scratch. For the required quantity of store-bought sushi vinegar, refer to the instructions on the bottle.

Here are the seven best beaches within a two-hour radius of Tokyo. Enjoy the surf in sight of Mt Fuji at Zaimokuza Beach, Kanagawa There are quiet, local beaches and heaving popular ones; gentle coves for families and reef breaks for surfers. Peak summer is July and August, when many beaches have temporary huts, festivals, and firework displays. Note that the Japanese sun is strong! Many locals wear hats or hide under beach umbrellas. It is better to make a reservation before going; if you don’t speak Japanese, asking someone who does (such as the hotel concierge) may be more helpful. Most places have a counter and tables; the master (usually one or two, along with a few understudies) does his work right in front of the customers at the counter to ensure that his ingredients are fresh. If you’re at the counter, why not enjoy a conversation with the master?
