What is the difference between hand roll and maki?

Nigiri is a hand-formed ball of rice, with a slice of fish over the top. If you take out the rice, you have Sashimi! Maki is a type of roll in which the seaweed wrap is on the outside of the roll. Rolls are when the rice is rolled on the outside and the seaweed wrap is rolled along the inside.

How do you eat hand roll?

1. When handed, hold the temaki in your hand, never put down on your plate or eat with chopsticks. Temaki is meant to be eaten right away. Otherwise, nori/seaweed will get soggy and become hard to chew, losing its crispness.
