Gunkan-maki is a type of sushi that consists of rice wrapped in seaweed with toppings such as salmon roe or sea urchin. The name comes from the resemblance of the seaweed to a battleship’s hull and the toppings to a turret. Gunkan-maki is a sushi that allows you to enjoy the changes in texture and flavor caused by the toppings overflowing from the rice. Depending on the topping, you can also add soy sauce, wasabi or other seasonings to enhance the taste. Gunkan-maki is a popular menu item at sushi restaurants and conveyor belt sushi, but you can also make it easily at home. All you need is seaweed, rice and your favorite toppings, and you can enjoy delicious gunkan-maki.
I as an English speaker would call nori green, but I think in Japanese it’s considered 青? I know 緑 is a newer color-word, in older times 青 covered a broader section of hue, but I think I read that 青 is still considered the color of plants - the stuff that English would call “greenery”.
@@sus_gus Usually, Japanese people feel Nori's color くろ. When compare to high grade, next grade is colled みどり As a side note, low grade Nori is colled あか or ちゃいろ. And, it is true that you say, sometimes 青 mean green.
