Fusion Sushi is the art of mixing and matching different ingredients for the inside of a sushi roll. Originally, Edo style sushi was just the rice and one ingredient wrapped in the nori sheet. As it’s popularity grew, so did the number of combinations and recipes. These are the main ones that you’ll find almost anywhere around the US that have a combination of ingredients.
