Gunkan

Gunkan sushi is one of the most popular variations of Japanese sushi. These are sushi shaped like elegant boats, as indicated by their original name (‘gunkan’ translates to ‘boat’), filled with rice and components that wouldn’t hold their shape on top of other rolls. These miniature boats, crafted from rice, are skillfully wrapped in nori seaweed, creating a delightful presentation on the plate. Despite Gunkan sushi appearing simple at first glance, their preparation requires specific skills and expertise. The foundation for making this type of sushi is the perfectly seasoned rice with a sweet and sour taste, wrapped in a strip of nori seaweed, and topped with a delicious and juicy filling. Gunkan sushi can be considered an exquisite and flavorful variation of Japanese sushi, appealing not only to fans of traditional Japanese dishes but also to those who appreciate interesting and unusual combinations, minimalist culinary enthusiasts, and true gastronomic aesthetes.

Sushi Jo offers you high-quality Gunkan sushi, where the artistry of our masters is hidden, skillfully combining sushi rice, nori seaweed, and fillings made from top-notch ingredients.

The nori seaweed is cut into perfect strips, precisely sized to neatly wrap around the ‘boat.’ However, the real explosion of flavor comes from the fillings we put inside our Gunkan sushi – they are unparalleled and will undoubtedly captivate anyone with this small work of art.
