Maki sushi is one of the types of sushi you are probably most familiar with. It is the most popular type of sushi, where they are made in rolls and then sliced into round bite-size pieces. In such rolls, fillings such as fish, crab meat, vegetables and so on are rolled up inside of seaweed or Japanese rice, or both. On the other hand, Hana means flower in Japanese. Thus, Salmon Hana Maki is a kind of sushi that is wrapped by fresh salmon, and then fire torched before drizzling it with a special sauce. Beautiful and delicious!
