Vegetable temari sushi

by Kenji Gyoten
Sushi Gyoten, Japan
 

Sushi has been part of Japanese culture since the Heian era (1,000 years ago). It used to be made for the gods simply from rice, water, and salt. For my recipe, I welcomed the challenge of making sushi without fish and while I used Japanese vegetables, I invite Krug Lovers to use local varieties from their own terroirs. I was inspired by the music pairing by Senju-san with his full orchestra.
