Sushi type
Temaki
A hand-held cone of nori filled with rice and toppings, designed to be eaten directly by hand.
How to recognize it
What to look for
A whole nori cone holds rice and filling at its open end rather than appearing as a row of cut rounds. Sake temaki lists salmon; the tempura version lists prawn.
How it differs
It shares nori and rice with maki, but the cone is served as one hand-held piece. Gunkan also contains loose toppings, yet its rice base is upright and oval, not cone-shaped.
