Kappa Maki Roll Sushi
Kappa maki roll sushi is a type of Japanese sushi roll made with cucumber (kappa in Japanese). It is usually filled with other ingredients such as cooked rice, tuna, salmon, or avocado, and wrapped with seaweed (nori). The filling ingredients can vary widely, and other ingredients such as egg, pickles, and sesame seeds may be added. Kappa maki rolls are a popular option for sushi lovers, as they are light, refreshing, and relatively healthy.
