4 Types of Sushi
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: sushi, types, eat, kinds, what is sushi, rice, informative
There are typically for different types of sushi:
| 1. | The first is nigiri. This is a pad of rice topped with fish, sometimes wrapped with a thin strip of nori (dried, pressed seaweed). |
| 2. | The second type is maki, commonly known as rolled sushi. The rice and fish (or whatever is inside) are placed on a sheet of seaweed which is then rolled up and sliced into cylindrical pieces. Sometimes the sushi is rolled with the rice on the outside (such as with a California Roll). |
| 3. | The third type is temaki, a hand roll. My girlfriend and I call this a "sushi ice-cream cone" because of its shape -- a cone of nori containing rice and fish/vegetables/whatever. |
| 4. | The last type is fairly uncommon...pressed sushi (one variant is called batteira though I'm not 100% sure of the spelling on that one). The chef places the rice into a mold, covers it with fish and presses it into a slab, which is then sliced into blocks. |
