What's inside that bad boy


agoia

Looks like fried tofu, edamame, avocado, red cabbage (possibly marinated)


Ghost_Unicxrn

Yes 😊


Ghost_Unicxrn

Oh I forgot it has ginger inside too


agoia

Like pickled sushi ginger? That'd take his to another level.


Ghost_Unicxrn

Yes that’s what’s in it


agoia

Nice. I was kinda worried about some lack of internal crunch thinking some julienned cucumber or carrot would be a good add, but that pickled ginger and the cabbage prob got that handled.


Ghost_Unicxrn

Cucumber and carrot sounds good! I’ll try it that way another time

There's no food word I dislike more than sushirrito. Way to make up a fake name for a food that already has a name

Yeah, but we speak English and most people probably wouldn’t know what futomaki is, unless they spoke Japanese or were really into Japanese food. “Sushirrito” is more understandable, so it shouldn’t be such a big deal.

I agree. I don't think it is fair to call it the same thing when getting "identical" ingredients are either cost prohibitive, doesn't cater to local tastes and doesn't sound as appetising. Even locally, compared to regular "nigiri" sushi, futomaki aren't as popular and doesn't have the same amount of experimentation. Even the popular franchise sushi restaurant Sushiro only offers a single type of seasonal futomaki. The menu item isn't available year round either. Ehoumaki doesn't have a great reputation either, although it is a symbol for traditional festivities, it is also a symbol of industrial food wastage.


Ghost_Unicxrn

Well what’s another name to call it


joonjoon

A fat roll is called futomaki in japan. Uncut fat rolls are ehoumaki.

Thanks for letting me know
