California Futomaki

The California Roll, though synonymous with sushi, has it roots as the name suggests here in America. The city of Los Angeles is credited with its creation. Sushi lore suggests that it was named after the state because of one particular local and at that time very unique ingredient-the avocado. It is also suggested that the popularity of this “unique” roll opened the door to creative freedom with ingredients that revolutionized the world of sushi. Though ingredients will vary some, it commonly consists of crab stick, cucumber, masago roe and of course avocado.
