Sushi is a wonderful tasting Japanese meal that everybody has heard of, and of course tasted as well.  And if you are lucky, you have tasted at wonderful Sushi restaurant Temecula.

It is a great traditional meal that consists of rice, seaweed and the famous ingredient, raw fish.

Now if you don’t like fish in the first place, of course you will not like sushi.  But if you do love the taste of seafood, then you definitely will enjoy sushi.

Of course, most sushi is enjoyed in fine restaurants such as the one you can find at Sushi restaurant Lake Elsinore.  You can enjoy them in small fast food type of Japanese restaurants.

Or you can enjoy them in more formal dining environments, like the one found at Sushi Restaurant Hemet.

Or best of all, you can enjoy them in an all you can eat style.

But if you are in a creative mood, maybe you might try cooking it up yourself at home.

Here is a quick explanation of the 3 kinds of sushi you can make.

First kind you will find is the Maki sushi.  It is the usual that you are used to that consists of fish/seafood with rice that is then wrapped in nori or seaweed.Most well known is the California roll of course

Now there are 2 types of sushi within the Maki sushi.  There is the "fat maki" called the Futomaki and it is called fat, because it contains 2 or more of the filllings (fish/seafood)

Second type is the Hosomaki or the "thin maki" called that because it has only one filling of fish or seafood.  But it could also be a single vegetable as well.

Then there is the Nigiri sushi which is our second type of Sushi.  This is a popular sushi that has a thin slice of raw fish, seafood, or other types of toppings that is placed on top of a rectangular chunk of rice.  There is nothing
that wraps it up such as seaweed, like the Maki sushi.

Finally there is the Uramaki, which can also be called the inside out sushi.  It is called inside out, because it is sort of the backwards version of the Maki, in the sense that the rice is on the outside with the nori on the inside.  Also what is inside is the fish or seafood type of fare.

There you go.3 great types of sushi you can give it a go at making it from home.

Naturally, the greatest way to make it the best is to first try some at a good sushi restaurant, so you can try all 3 styles and see what ingredients there are.

So happy eating.
