Sushi sushi sushi. Oh how I love your rolls. I can't understand why more people aren't open to the idea of eating sushi. I encounter more people who have never had sushi or don't want to ever eat it than those who have. It's delicious. Sometimes when I'm feeling thrifty I'll eat homemade sushi. My wife makes awesome rolls from time to time. My favorite roll is tempura with tuna, asparagus, seaweed and avacado. But the truth is I'll eat ANY kind of sushi at least once. Spare me the wasabi. It's like using cocktail sauce on raw oysters, it kills the flavor and some tastebuds in the process. Making your own sushi at home is a great way to enjoy this delicious dish while saving big $$$. I've had checks run into the $60-$80 range for two people eating sushi rolls and I wasn't even full. At home you can make 10 times the amount of rolls for about that same price. Did I mention that I love sushi? It takes some practice but with a little patients, you too could be rolling your own sushi rolls. You can buy the kit for like 5-10 bucks at most grocery stores and specialty stores. Give it a shot.

Sushi is my favorite food in the world! My favorites are Salmon/avocado rolls, BBQ eel roles, spicy tuna rolls, White Tune sashimi and Octopus.

Like anything, practice goes a long way. My wife and I have rolled our own sushi several times and each time we apply something new we've learned and each time they turn out better. It's best enjoyed with someone else who likes sushi and doesn't mind making a mess. (that sticky rice is really sticky)

I'd love to hear a little more about making sushi. I tried it once and loved it, but the amount of time it took me, not to mention the mild frustration over making a mess of such delicious elements, put me off ever approaching the project again.

The only place I've heard about having sushi for breakfast is at Tsukiji Fish Market, an area near to Ginza in Tokyo. And have I had sushi for breakfast? Yep, at around 5.30 am, I do believe! This is an experience anyone who has the love of sushi must definitely try when in Tokyo. There are lots to see and do in Tokyo so one might not be able to wake up so early (4 am! unless you stay up the whole night ;-)) to venture for sushi! … more

Inspired by devora's guide to eating Dim Sum, my review will consist of the how-to's and in's and out's of eating sushi. Disclaimer: I am not Japanese. So, I might not be 100% correct in all of the cultural nuances and etiquette when it comes to sushi. But, I have been a sushi chef for about a year during my college years. I've also had my share of sushi and have converted many "cooked sushi lovers" to die-hard raw fish eaters. Sit at the … more

Liking sushi is probably an acquired taste, but it doesn't take long. Once you get past raw fish phobia, you will love it. Something aboutthe deadly combination of perfectly prepared seasoned rice, fresh fish,stinging wasabi (Japanese horse radish), and some soy sauce gets youtotally hooked. Honestly, I don't understand the mental block people have with rawfish. Rare steak dripping with blood seems to pose much greaterpsychological challenge than almost pretty … more

Yummy sushi! A great alternative to soy sauce is lemon juice and wasabi. Brings out a wonderful flavor in the fish.

About this food
In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegar rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish dishes.
Sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi, as distinct from sushi. Combined with hand-formed clumps of rice it is called nigirizushi ; sushi items served rolled inside or around nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or algae) is makizushi, toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu is inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi.
