When I lived in Japan, I didn’t eat much meat. I still don’t and I’m not confident making sushi with raw fish … yet.

My go-to roll has always been kappamaki かっぱ巻き, cucumber roll, which is widely available in Japan.

It’s a type of hosomaki 細巻き, which are skinny rolls made with a single ingredient (usually a fish or vegetable).

I feel like they make sushi really accessible.
