SUSHI!!!! A traditional food mainly associated with Japan actually originated from Southeast Asia, and was eaten alone – no rice! Eventually it was made with rice and looks like what we eat today. Sushi is very popular in America, Canada, and the UK.
There are five main types of sushi:
- Nigiri: A topping, usually fish, served on top of sushi rice
- Sashimi: Fish or shellfish served alone (no rice)
- Maki: Rice and filling wrapped in seaweed
- Uramaki: Similar to the above, but rice is on the outside and seaweed wraps around the filling
- Temaki: Sushi that has been hand-rolled into a cone shape
Sushi rolls or nigiri can be eaten using your hands! Many people in Japan eat sushi this way. When eating nigiri, it’s also recommended to turn the roll upside-down to dip in soy sauce to avoid absorbing too much into the rice. Many times wasabi (green paste made from Japanese horseradish) and ginger (pink pickled slices) are served with sushi. Ginger is used to clear his palette between courses. Wasabi should be mixed with soy for dipping.

Smiling sushi roll
There must still be a lot of “hidden interesting things” in what we experience in everyday life. I was wondering about my own original style through using familiar images which everyone knows.
In a convenient modern country like Japan where you can buy anything in a shop, and even though people have eaten a Sushi Roll, few people including me have made it themselves. One day, I saw a Sushi Roll with a pattern on the surface and thought it would be very interesting if I could draw freely on that surface. So, I tried.
But when I actually started to make the Sushi Roll, I found that the pattern on the surface stepped away from my expectation. This was because its construction depends on the volume of vinegared rice, the way of cutting the ingredients, the layout of the ingredients, the pressure applied when rolling and so on. Meanwhile, I began to think that overcoming the very ‘uncontrollability’ in drawing patters actually leads to coming close to meeting my goals.
Even now, we are enjoying being surprised by unexpected lines and shapes emerging on the cut surface. Then we ‘eat it’.
As a result of this process I named these entertaining Sushi Rolls as the ‘Smiling Sushi Roll’ which has the message of ‘making it with a smile, viewing it with a smile, and eating it with a smile.’
While I promote an ‘edible art’ made of rice and seaweed, I will continue challenging common knowledge and conventional ideas.
