Hand-rolled sushi and Setubun

Hi, I'm Nao Akimoto.



Today I'd like to introduce about..






HOW TO MAKE “Hand-Rolled Sushi








Difference between “sushi” and “hand-rolled sushi”…?
Sushi is that raw fish or fillings usually are on the rice.
Or dried laver seaweed is rolled side of it. and

I will introduce about Hand-rolled sushi.
This is often eaten at home, because it is easier to make than that type of sushi. Also Japanese people hardly ever make this sushi at home!


















introduction

she is one of my friends, Tomomi.







*ingredients* for 2 person (you don’t need to prepare exactly.)
・Cooked rice….2 cup of rice
・Dried laver seaweed…20×20, 5 sheets
・Vinegar for sushi…45cc (if you don’t have vinegar for sushi, you should use normal vinegar: 45cc, salt: 5g, sugar: 18g)

*Fillings* you can choose whatever you like!
・Cucumber
・Egg
・Hum
・Perilla(しそ)
・Tuna with mayonnaise
・Raw fish (we chose tuna, prawn, scallop, bream, salmon, salmon roe…and so on)

Relationship between "Hand-rolled sushi"and "Ehomaki"



We often eat them on February 3rd, because this day is called “Setsubun” which means people throw away their evil thoughts and take the luck.




Japanese people often eat “Ehomaki” which came from (Osaka) West of Japan. If you finish eating all of it closed eyes and without speaking, you can get luck this year.




In East of Japan, people are not familiar with “Ehomaki” custom, so they eat “Hand-rolled sushi” instead, but we’ve never tried that custom using Hand-rolled sushi.
I live in East of Japan, however, I often see “Ehomaki” at many shops even convenience store.

Also Hand-rolled sushi is easier to make than Ehomaki and normal sushi, so people often eat at home.

Little children can enjoy eating through making it.

Thank you for reading and watching!

I hope you will get interest in Hand-rooled sushi.

bye(^U^)/

  3. なおさん、英語を気にしないで ^_^ ビデオがかわいいですね。
    残念ながら私の日本語が良くありません。。。ぜんぜん話すことができなかったので。
    Yes, we went to Tokyo (me & boyfriend) and stayed there for week. Our ryokan was between Asakusa and Ueno, but we visited almost the whole city.
    I enjoyed a lot!
    Then we went to Takayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and then back to Tokyo, where we stayed for the last 3 days of our journey around Japan (it was a 3-weeks journey).
    It was great, I love Japan!
    It was August... 蒸し暑いね!でも、日本はの当綺麗でした。
    私は(ボーイフレンドも!)日本料理もおいしいとおもいます。
    Ehomaki looks interesting! What are the ingredients (filling)?
