Inarizushi

 Inarizushi is one of popular sushi and often made at home in Japan. Because it is easy kind of sushi to make with food results.

Inarisushi is a clump of sushi rice in a fried tofu pocket. Raw fish is not used for Inarizushi, therefore it is common food for picnic as well.

The picture is Obento I made with my nephew when I visited Japan and we took out Obento for a picnic. To make it fun we decorated with Japanese and Swedish flags.

Obento includes Inarisushi, Edamame(soybeans), Kamaboko( made of pureed white fish), Rolled pork with vegetable and Kyoho (Japanese Grape). Kyoho is one of my favorite fruits, it is extremely sweet..

It is important how to decorate to make it beautiful even it is not easy though.  For kids lunch box, mothers try to decorate Obento with animal or character goods to intrigues kids and motivate to eat. 

Uramakisushi

Recently this Uramakisushi ( seaweed is inside )  is very popular especially outside Japan. Ura means back in Japanese. Uramakisushi is a little bit easier to make than ordinal makisushi which seaweed is outside. This time I made salmon and cucumber makisushi.

Makizushi

I made Makizushi with salmon and carrot that is easy to get in Sweden.
