    1. Prepare the rice as close as possible to making your sushi. It is not meant to be kept in the fridge.
      Don’t use any other vinegar but rice vinegar. It won’t taste as good.
      The working temperature for the rice is room temperature, while some prefer ‘body temperature’.
      If you are making sushi rice for the first time, use only half the vinegar mixture. Mix. Taste. And decide if you want to add the rest.
      Soak the rice in water for at least 20 minutes before cooking. That helps soften the rice grain kernel.
      Use our calculator to decide exactly how much rice to make. It’s a shame make more than you really needed.
      The average dinner would enjoy having 2 rolls in one sitting. Sometimes more. Absolutely no judgment.
      Don’t forget to get creative. This is your sushi. Own it!
      The vinegar mixture is only added after the rice has cooked.

      I became hooked on Kewpie mayonnaise after a trip to Japan. I especially loved it in simple tuna and mayo rolls. They were my go-to snack while traveling.

      This mayonnaise is so good and seems to go with everything! Unfortunately, it’s still difficult to find in my area and needs to be special ordered.

      Why would you use mayo on sushi such as americans do?

        Many people like it. One famous example is the spicy tuna roll. Have you tried one of those?
