Sushi-rolls have been a familiar part of home cooking in Japan since long ago.
First created in the Edo period, as they spread from the center of Osaka to the rest of Japan, the ingredients and appearance changed and evolved to reflect the various local cultures of each place.
Abroad as well, Sushi-rolls inspired famous foods like Korea’s Gimbap and America’s California Roll which put their own unique styles on the food for us to enjoy.
Within sushi-rolls; differences in appearance based on seasons or events can also be seen, and sushi-rolls that are made with patterns and motifs based on nature or characters are called “Kazari-maki Sushi” (Decorated Sushi-roll). There are so many colourful, Instagram-friendly patterns with multiple variations that just looking at them all is a lot of fun.
Now the ICC has invited cooking expert Miwako Shinkai to give a lecture and demonstration about the Sushi-roll where you will be able to see a professional showing how to make “Kazari-maki Sushi” up close!
