"Makizushi" (, "rolled sushi"), "norimaki" (, "nori roll", used generically for other dishes as well) or "makimono" (, "variety of rolls") is a cylindrical piece formed with the help of a bamboo mat known as a "makisu" (). "Makizushi" is generally wrapped in nori (seaweed), but is occasionally wrapped in a thin omelette, soy paper, cucumber, or shiso (perilla) leaves. "Makizushi" is usually cut into six or eight pieces, which constitutes a single roll order. Below are some common types of "makizushi", but many other kinds exist.
