Uramaki
Uramaki, or 'inside-out roll,' is a modern style of sushi where the rice is on the outside, typically coated with sesame seeds or fish roe, and the nori (seaweed) wraps the fillings inside. Common ingredients include vinegared sushi rice, nori, and a variety of fillings like avocado, cucumber, crab, or raw fish. This style originated in North America, particularly in Los Angeles, as a creative adaptation of traditional Japanese sushi to appeal to Western tastes.

💡 What's interesting
Culturally, uramaki represents a fusion of Japanese technique and American innovation, famously exemplified by the California Roll. Nutritionally, it can be a lighter alternative to traditional rolls if filled with vegetables and lean proteins, though the outer rice layer increases the carbohydrate content.
