What are sushi and sushi rolls?

A traditional Japanese dish, in which a piece of fish, shrimp, or other seafood is placed on a rice cake and tied with a strip of nori, is called sushi.

If all the ingredients are layered and rolled into a roll, it is called sushi rolls. If the seaweed is on the outside, it is called maki, and if the vegetables, seaweed, and seafood are inside the roll, it is called uramaki. To prepare California sushi rolls, boiled rice of special varieties and fresh or smoked fish or seafood are used. The main highlight of the dish is the sauces, which give it a spicy and tangy flavor, unusual but so distinctive.
