The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

Chicken in sushi might raise eyebrows at a traditional sushi counter, but konbini hand rolls have never cared much for tradition — if it tastes good in rice and seaweed, it's in. The teriyaki glaze — soy sauce, mirin, and sugar — is designed to taste great at room temperature, a wisdom borrowed from bento culture where food is eaten hours after cooking. The mayo bridges the gap between the sweet glaze and the vinegared rice.

How to eat

  • 1The teriyaki sauce can make the rice slightly sticky — unwrap carefully to keep the seaweed intact.
