03:15 Making Inarizushi
Inarizushi has been one of my favorite types of sushi since I was a little kid. I remember my mom would make these for us and we would devour them. Funny how my son does the same thing now. :)
And there's actually two main styles of inari in Japan. The Kanto (Tokyo) style is known for the rectangular pouches, while the Kansai (Osaka) area cuts them into triangles. What we see most often in the United States is usually the rectangular Kanto style, which is easier to make and what I teach in this video.
Fun fact - The name inarizushi originates from the Inari shrines in Japan. It is said that foxes are the messengers for the Inari god and their favorite thing to eat is aburaage (deep fried tofu pouch). Therefore, it became a common offering, and eventually became what we know of it today.

🍣 ABOUT THE SUSHI MAN:
Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.
