What is A Specialty Roll, Exactly?
First thing’s first! What does “specialty roll” even mean?
Specialty rolls are actually called “Futomaki”. Futomaki refers to oversized sushi rolls made by rolling nori (seaweed), sushi rice, and a variety of veggies and fish. It is then cut into bite sized pieces and served. Usually, sushi restaurants develop their own specialty Maki Rolls with unique combinations of ingredients and sauces.
