Gunkan Sushi

Gunkan Sushi, also known as “battleship sushi”, is a type of sushi consisting of a piece of nori (dried seaweed) wrapped around a portion of sushi rice, with a variety of ingredients such as fish roe, seafood, vegetables, or other ingredients placed on top. It is a popular type of sushi in Japan, and is often served as an appetizer or part of a sushi platter. The nori is wrapped around the sushi rice in a cylindrical shape, creating a “cup” that is filled with the ingredients. Gunkan sushi is also known for its “cute” appearance, as it resembles a small battleship when served.
