【Maki-zushi】
Maki-zushi is a Japanese sushi roll.
It is made of sushi rice and various fillings, all wrapped in a sheet of toasted seaweed called "nori."
This specific roll uses high-quality, famous nori from Akashi, which is known for its rich flavor and thick, crispy texture. For the fillings, we use freshly made tamagoyaki (Japanese sweet omelet), plump steamed shrimp, and fresh sashimi like raw tuna. You can enjoy a wonderful harmony of different tastes and textures wrapped in this premium seaweed.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
In this cooking class, we will make Japanese "Maki-zushi" (sushi rolls) together!
Maki-zushi is a very popular dish commonly enjoyed in Japanese homes. We will also prepare all the fillings from scratch.
First, we will make "Tamagoyaki" (Japanese sweet omelet), a staple of Japanese home cooking, using a special square pan. It has a delicious, slightly sweet flavor.
Next, you will practice a uniquely Japanese way of cooking shrimp. We will insert a skewer into each shrimp to keep it straight, making it easier to roll.
You will also try slicing fresh sashimi yourself. Akashi is famously known as a "fish town," where an abundance of fresh seafood is caught daily.
We will also make the sushi rice. We will mix the seasoned sushi vinegar into freshly cooked rice and cool it down.
Finally, we will roll all the ingredients together using Akashi's delicious, premium seaweed.
Once it is done, we will slice the roll into bite-sized pieces and enjoy tasting it together!
