Nigiri, maki or sashimi? Know what to order

Japanese menus can look long at first. Here is a quick guide to the three dishes guests ask about most.

Sashimi

Thin slices of fresh raw fish served without rice β€” the purest way to taste the fish itself.

Nigiri

A hand-pressed ball of seasoned rice topped with a slice of fish or seafood.

Maki

Rice and fillings rolled in nori seaweed and cut into rounds. Great for sharing and perfect if you are new to raw fish.
