The concept of Sushi, while primarily an essential part of Japanese culture has proliferated itself worldwide to become a celebrated and widely accepted part of international cuisine. Indeed, one would be hard-pressed to name a country that has not been influenced in some way by this aspect of Japanese culture. Perhaps its due to the fact that sushi is primarily, a healthy yet delicious food alternative compared to most food one would consider. Regardless of the reason, the fact remains that people all over the world crave sushi.

Yet Sushi can come in various forms, from nigiri sushi, sushi rolls, hosomaki sushi, futomaki sushi, uramaki sushi, and more!

For our purposes, we will be looking into Sushi Rolls. Particularly, the types of Sushi Rolls that are most popular worldwide.

Why are Sushi Rolls popular?

Among the different types of Sushi, the most popular kind of Sushi, particularly in the western sushi market is the Sushi Roll or Maki Sushi. Within the sushi roll family, the uramaki or inside out sushi roll is the most popular one among westerners. This is primarily owing to the fact that when sushi was first introduced abroad, people were rather scared of eating raw fish in nigiri sushi. Also, the western palate is neither used to the texture, nor the flavor or smell of the dried seaweed that often accompanies regular maki sushi where the seaweed is placed outside of the rice. To this end, uramaki was created, combining a plethora of flavors into various rolls while humbly and most respectfully placing the trusty seaweed wraps inside to make way for a wider more diverse audience.

In addition to this, the sushi rolls also allowed for the use of cooked fillings that ensured that none of the western audience would be put off by the presence of raw fish. This allowed for a wonderful fusion between Japanese and Western cuisine, wherein flavors from both cultures intermingled, interchanged and formed something that was loved and appreciated by the culture as a whole. In fact, there are many sushi rolls that are native only abroad from Japan. Where sushi rolls have been adapted to fit the culture it is serving, which is something very unique and amazing about the sushi roll. The ability to adapt while maintaining certain aspects of its originality.

In today’s sushi market, there is a myriad of ingredients that are being used by chefs all over the world to create innovative and game changing varieties of Sushi. While we will touch on those varieties later, for our purposes, let us take a look at some of the most popular sushi rolls in the market today.

The Most Popular Sushi Rolls

With the market full of hundreds of various sushi rolls, we are going to take the time to look at some of the fan favorites and go over the most popular sushi rolls. This list is in no particular order and only goes over the most popular kinds of sushi based on demographic information.

Dynamite Sushi Roll

Ingredients: Yellowtail Fish, Carrots, Mayonnaise, Cucumber, Avocado, Shrimp Tempura

The Dynamite Sushi roll is a delicious creation popularized in the United States. It involves combining fried or baked sea food with mayonnaise, chilli and vegetables like cucumber and carrots to create a delicious mixture of flavors.

Dragon Roll

Ingredients : Crab, Eels, Cucumber, Carrots, Avocado

The dragon roll is called so because of the sheet of eel that is used in the sushi roll. An eel is a ray-finned fish who’s structure and skin slightly resembles that of a dragon. Hence the name. In fact, a lot of establishments also go the extra mile with decorating the sushi to actually resemble a dragon. It is a different, yet albeit delicious addition to the many incredible sushi rolls that fill the market today.

Rainbow Sushi Roll

Ingredients: Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp, Avocado, Spices

The Rainbow Sushi Roll is a bit closer to the traditional form of sushi as it includes raw fish. However, the flavors between salmon, shrimp, and tuna are balanced very well. In addition to this, the avocado and spices also add a significant kick to the flavor. Not to mention the difference in colors between the shrimp, tuna, avocado, and salmon, make for a beautifully colored sushi roll, hence the name, Rainbow Sushi Roll.

California Roll

Ingredients: Crab Meat, Cucumber, Avocado, Sesame Seeds

The California Sushi Roll is perhaps the most widely known Sushi Roll on our list. It is a simple yet elegant blend of crab meat, cucumber, avocado, sprinkled with sesame seeds wrapped in the classic Uramaki style. Perhaps it is its simplicity that adds to its charm, making it as popular as it is. I personally believe that it may be because it allows for the experience of enjoying seafood with sushi without having to worry about having actual raw fish included. A lot of establishments also rely on using imitation crab meat so it is important to be aware of whether you are eating the real deal or imitation.

Spider Sushi Roll

Ingredients: Crab, Lettuce, Cucumber, Avocado, Mayonnaise

By sheer popularity, the Spider Sushi Roll is by far the most popular type of Sushi Roll available on the market today. The Spider Sushi Roll is thicker than its counterparts and comes with a delicious mixture of fried soft shell crab, lettuce, avocado, mayonnaise, and spices. With all of these delicious components wrapped together in the densely packed soft white rice, Spider Sushi is one of the most delicious sushi rolls made to date.
