I used to make it all the time. I used all kind of stuff. SPAM and eggs. Imitation crab with avocado. I like broiled salmon skin with CA / Philly roll. Creme cheese. Oh yeah. I made only cucumber KAPPA MAKI. I made seaweed on outside and inside. If inside I roll in sesame seeds and tobiko. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx alot Nicole. It's almost 11pm and I am actually drinking my 4th small bottle of Ozeki dry sake and now wishing I had some salmon skin roll. Better than swinging a bag of heroin or pure coke in my face I suppose. : ) Now I want to make my own again. What kind of rice to you prefer. I havent tried alot of variety. Mostly just "Rose."

I've seen these in restaurants, but I want one badly.

Those gizmos are WAY cool!!! My husband couldn't believe the German made one and thought it was a joke. I'll make him read the description a little more closely when he looks at it again.

I've seen the tray and box dealio before. Does it really work? For $20.00 that's a great deal. I have the bamboo mat thingy and it works OK, plus I have a book on making sushi and other Japanese related food.

I'm surprised your Japanese friend has never seen the Fuji sushi making machine before. I saw it a long time ago used in a restaurant. The top is filled up with rice and the cranks are turned and the rice comes out in the little rectangles. It makes the sushi rectangles fast for the chefs behind the counter. BUT, I wonder if your friend is on to something... tater tot making machine... it might work as that too!
