What is Deco-maki Sushi?
Deco-maki sushi is a type of Japanese rolled sushi (maki sushi) primarily characterized by the elaborate pictures and characters that appear on its cross-section.
Visual Appeal and Fun
The greatest appeal of deco-maki lies in its visual beauty and the excitement it brings before eating. Since you don't know what design will appear until you slice it, it's like a game of "fukuwarai" (a traditional Japanese game similar to pin the tail on the donkey) that adds an element of surprise and fun.
Unique Creation Method and Diverse Arrangements
Deco-maki goes beyond the realm of ordinary cooking with its unique creation method. It involves combining parts made from colored sushi rice and various ingredients like scrambled eggs, crab sticks, sausages, and cheese. These components are meticulously arranged so that the picture emerges on the cross-section, much like a "kintaro-ame" (a traditional Japanese candy with a design that appears no matter where it's cut).
