Maki

A cylindrical piece, formed with the help of a bamboo mat, called a makisu. Makizushi is generally wrapped in nori, a sheet of dried pressed laver that encloses the rice and fillings, but can occasionally be found wrapped in a thin omelette. Makizushi is usually cut into six or eight pieces, which constitute an order. Maki comes in many different varieties.
