Meaning

手巻 (てまき, Temaki) is Temaki, a Japanese food (sushi and sashimi).

What is Temaki?

Temaki is a large cone-shaped sushi piece with nori on the outside and the ingredients spilling out the wide end. A typical temaki is about 10cm long, and is eaten with fingers because it is too awkward to pick it up with chopsticks. For optimal taste and texture, temaki must be eaten quickly after being made because the nori cone one soon absorbs moisture from the filling and loses its crispness, making it somewhat difficult to bite through. For this reason, the nori in pre-made or take-out temaki is sealed in plastic film that is removed immediately before eating.
