Bazooka sushi, what is it?
Japanese cuisine fascinates with its subtle flavors and refined aesthetics. Sushi, the jewel of this gastronomy, is now finding its way into our kitchens thanks to ingenious tools that simplify its preparation. While the Bazooka Sushi has helped democratize making maki 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, efficiency and professional finish.
Bazooka Sushi: a first step towards homemade maki
The Bazooka Sushi, with its plastic tube design, appeals to beginners. It works by "pressing" the rice and fillings into a cylinder, which is then expelled and rolled in a sheet of nori. The idea is ingenious: in just a few steps, you get a rice roll ready to be cut. Quick, fun, and ideal for family gatherings or introducing children to cooking.
However, the Bazooka has some limitations: the rice is packed tightly, which can alter its texture, and rolling the nori is done manually, requiring a certain amount of dexterity to achieve a clean and even seal. Furthermore, cleaning the various parts (piston, latches, tube) can be tedious.
Easy Sushi®: Effortless Precision
That's where Easy Sushi® comes in. This ingenious manual roller is based on a simple but remarkably effective mechanical principle: simply place a sheet of nori in the device, add the rice and fillings, then pull on a tab to obtain a perfect, firmly rolled and visually impeccable roller.
Unlike Bazooka Sushi, Easy Sushi® has mastered the complete wrapping process, This ensures a consistent shape, a clean seal, and a presentation close to that of a professional chef. There's no need to reposition the nori or manually adjust the roll—everything is done in one smooth motion.
