BAMBOO SUSHI MATS
BRIEF HISTORY
Sushi Mats or Makisu are traditionally made with thin strips of Bamboo. The technique of rolling rice with fish dates back to 500 B.C. It was perfected in the seventeenth century in, what is now, Tokyo.
Usually the mats are 24 cm x 24 cm or approximately (9.5 x 9.5 inches), which leaves a little space on each side of the roll. The process of rolling is quite simple.
