A Customer enjoyed sushi specially made for him/her by taking a seat in front of sushi chef familiar to him/her and ordering this and that like ordering cocktail at a bar, and a sushi chef invented new sushi one after another in order to respond to a customer's request using a character of Maki-zushi that it was easier to give a variety to Maki-zushi than to Nigiri-zushi.
客は、なじみの職人の前に陣取りあれこれと注文して、バー(酒場)でカクテルを注文するがごとく自分だけの特別な寿司を楽しみ、職人も、握り寿司より巻き寿司の方がバラエティがつけやすいため、これに応じて次々に新しい寿司を考案していった。
