What is Temaki Sushi (Hand-rolled Sushi)?
Temaki is sushi in the hand roll form like an ice cream cone, otherwise known as “hand-rolled sushi” in English. Typically, they are made from sushi rice with raw fish, vegetables, or other fillings enclosed in a nori cone. The main differences between Maki sushi and Temaki is the shape and temaki is much easier to make. Temaki is usually served at parties or gatherings at home, where the various ingredients are spread out in bowls or platters on the table for guests to pick and choose their fillings and flavor combinations.
