The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

Tuna mayo has conquered every format Japanese convenience food has to offer. It first appeared as an onigiri filling at Seven-Eleven in 1983, colonized bread next, and has now claimed the hand-rolled sushi shelf too. At this point it's less of a flavor and more of a lifestyle. The hand-rolled version wraps the same beloved filling in crisp seaweed, adding a satisfying crunch that the rice ball version doesn't have.

How to eat

  • 1No special technique needed — this is as approachable as hand-rolled sushi gets. Unwrap, eat, enjoy.
