Food Connect, Inc.

When it comes to kitchen tools, this one might represent the lowest technology with the highest reward. Making makizushi (otherwise known as sushi rolls) requires little more than this unassuming mat made of bamboo skewers linked together with twine. Don’t skimp, though—this seemingly simple mat is essential for sushi-making—while the smooth durable surface is easy to clean, bamboo is also believed to possess mysterious powers and ward off evil spirits.

Here's what you get:

Sushi History

The term sushi—meaning “sour tasting”—is actually a reflection of traditional sushi’s roots. It was far from the fresh delicacy we imagine now: a combination of fresh fish wrapped in vinegary rice. Initially the term indicated salted fish buried in rice. The fermentation of the rice helped to break down the fish proteins into flavorful amino acids that we know now as umami.
