Sushi type
Futomaki
A thick roll with several fillings. Combinations are more elaborate and can vary from one restaurant to another.
How to recognize it
What to look for
Its larger cut face leaves room for multiple fillings inside the nori. The classic entry lists tamago and cucumber alongside variable fillings; the vegetable version lists plant ingredients.
How it differs
Compared with hosomaki, thickness and the combination of fillings are the useful clues. Both keep nori outside, unlike inside-out uramaki.
