Bazooka sushi, what is it?
Japanese cuisine fascinates with its subtle flavors and refined aesthetics. Sushi, the crown jewel of this cuisine, is now making its way into our kitchens thanks to ingenious tools that simplify its preparation. While the Sushi Bazooka has helped democratize maki-making at home, a more precise and elegant alternative is gaining popularity: Easy Sushi®, a patented device made in France, which stands out for its simplicity, its efficiency and its professional finish.
Bazooka Sushi: a first step towards homemade makis
The Sushi Bazooka, with its plastic tube-like appearance, appeals to beginners. It works by "pressing" rice and toppings into a cylinder, which is then expelled and wrapped in a sheet of nori. The idea is clever: in just a few steps, you have a roll of rice ready to be cut. Fast, fun, and ideal for family evenings or for introducing children to cooking.
However, the Bazooka has some limitations: the rice is tightly packed, which can alter its texture, and rolling the nori is still manual, requiring a certain dexterity to achieve a clean and regular closure. In addition, cleaning the multiple parts (piston, latches, tube) can be tedious.
Easy Sushi®: effortless precision
This is where Easy Sushi® comes in. This ingenious manual roller is based on a simple but incredibly effective mechanical principle: simply place a sheet of nori in the device, add the rice and toppings, then pull a tab to obtain a perfect roll, firmly rolled and visually impeccable.
Unlike Bazooka Sushi, Easy Sushi® masters the complete roll, ensuring a consistent shape, a clean seal, and a chef-like presentation. No need to reposition the nori or manually adjust the roll—it's all done in one smooth motion.
