Does anyone know the approximate size of a sushi?

Question

i know there are different sizes but if u could just give the name and the approximate size of it, that'd be great. thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

Um, a sushi? Do you mean the culinary genre of sushi originally from Japan? Generally speaking you could expect a typical piece of sushi to be about the size of a silver dollar. It completely ranges though, from the size of a quarter to perhaps the same circumference as the base of a coffee mug.

Hope that helps. Why don't you just look it up on Wikipedia btw?

Answer 2

All of the above are correct but there are a few kinds of sushi that haven't been considered.  Futomaki, which is a large roll type sushi is usually 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. It's hellishly difficult to eat with chopsticks but eating sushi with immaculately clean fingers is perfectly acceptable in sushi houses outside of the US and I do occasionally see people doing it here in New York.

Hand roll sushi is about the size or a little smaller than the average ice cream cone.

Answer 3

The 3 basic types of sushi are Nigiri, Maki, and Temaki.

Nigiri is the most common type.  A slab of fish, egg or vegetable about 1"x2" laid on a slightly smaller pad of sushi rice.  Sometimes wrapped with a ribbon of nori (seaweed).  Usually served in pairs.

Maki (roll) sushi is anywhere from about 2cm (not quite 1") in diameter to 2" in diameter (futomaki - literally "wide roll")  A single  maki order  will contain 4 to 6 pieces.

Temaki (hand roll) are made with squares of nori that are then rolled into an ice-cream cone shape with rice, fish and/or other fillings inside.  It's about the size of a small sugar cone, only a bit wider.

Answer 4

Sushi is generally about 3 cm (1 inch) diameter rolls, about 2 cm thick, or made with rice patties that are 2 x 4 cm (x 1cm thick) topped with seafood.

Answer 5
