Answer 2

There are 2 types. Nigirizushi, which has the item placed on the rice and usually bound by a piece of seaweed, and Makizushi, which are the rolls. Makizushi is what a lot of Americans consider sushi, but most were offered in sushi shops for the gaijin. The main sushi -- to the Japanese -- is the Nigirizushi.

Nigirizushi -- lots and lots. A few are: maguro, toro, shiro maguro, hamachi, katsuo, kohada, and on and on.

Makizushi  -- futomaki, tekkamaki, anakyu, and so forth. ("California rolls" fits in here, and as you can tell by the title, not especially a 'Japanese' dish.)

There IS another kind of sushi -- Kansai style -- which is offered is some restaurants but not usually sushi bars. The Japanese often see Kansaizushi in the same light that we see Christmas Fruit Cake: to be admired, but not necessarily eaten.

Hope this filled in a little. I lived in Japan. (God! I wish I'd never left!)
