Tuna roll (Tekka maki)

【Makimono】
Norimaki sushi roll with red tuna and grated wasabi at the core. There are various theories as to the origin of the name Tekkamaki. The name tekkamaki roll came from the bright red tuna looking like burning iron in cross-section, and maki means roll.

This simple dish provides an opportunity to quickly get a taste of the tuna’s umami, which makes the flavor of the raw ingredients all that more important. Edomae sushi rolls are made using toasted nori. Generally crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside.
