Sushi is one of Japan's most loved foods, built around seasoned rice and fresh ingredients. Nigiri is a small mound of rice topped with fish, while maki is rolled inside a sheet of seaweed called nori. Sashimi skips the rice for pure sliced fish, and sides like miso soup, edamame, and crispy tempura round out the meal. A dab of wasabi and a slice of pickled ginger add the finishing kick. These eleven words cover the sushi table.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between nigiri and maki in this sushi word search?
NIGIRI is fish laid over a pressed mound of RICE, while MAKI is rolled with rice and filling inside a sheet of NORI seaweed.
Is sashimi the same as sushi?
Not quite. SASHIMI is thinly sliced raw fish served on its own, with no rice, so it is often eaten alongside sushi rather than as it.
