A Quick and Easy Guide to Buying and Eating Sushi (10 pics)

1. Makizushi
Makizushi is essentially the grandest category of sushi containing all of the typical rolls that you are used to. These are most likely the rolls to start with if you’re a beginner.
2. Sashimi
Sashimi, while it is much simpler, is definitely more intimidating. Sashimi is simply sliced pieces of fresh fish to be consumed alone without sticky rice.
3. Nigiri
Nigiri is very similar to sashimi except that the slices of fresh fish are pressed over a bed of vinegared rice.
4. Gunkan
Maki Gunkan Maki is essentially a hybrid of Nigiri and Makizushi with fish or roe topped sticky rice, loosely wrapped in seaweed.
