A top-quality seaweed nori specifically designed for making authentic futomaki sushi rolls. This premium roasted nori delivers a crispy texture, rich umami flavour and is ideal for sushi lovers who seek the highest quality in their ingredients.
These 10 sheets of nori are slightly thicker than standard nori, making them ideal for futomaki, where multiple ingredients are rolled. The sturdiness helps prevent tearing, ensuring a clean, professional look for sushi rolls.
What is Futomaki?
Futomaki is a type of thick, rolled sushi from Japan, traditionally filled with a variety of colourful ingredients. The word "futomaki" literally means "thick roll" in Japanese, distinguishing it from other types of sushi like hosomaki (thin rolls).
Futomaki can be made with a wide range of fillings, often featuring a mix of cooked and raw ingredients. Common fillings include tamagoyaki (sweet rolled omelette), kanpyo (dried gourd strips), cucumber, pickled daikon radish (takuan), shiitake mushrooms and sometimes tofu or seafood like smoked fish or crab sticks. See recipe.
Unlike many other types of sushi, futomaki usually does not contain raw fish, which makes it appealing to those who prefer cooked or vegetarian sushi.
