MAKI

　

Makis are rolls. Although many beginners try vegetarian rolls, the best maki are pieces of fish, crab or shrimp rolled with crispy tempura pieces, avocado, cucumbers, and other vegetables rolled into a sheet of rice or seaweed. The combination of soft raw fish, crispy tempura and vegetables is actually quite amazing !
