Know your sashimi from your sabazushi? It’ll be all rice on the night with our handy guide
Dragon roll
A western style of sushi, so called because of its ‘scales’ of avocado topping, rather than its (mild) flavour, which is unlikely to make you breathe fire.
Uramaki
Inside-out rolls, with nori on the inside. These were supposedly devised to get Americans to eat their seaweed, making them the courgetti of their day.
Sabazushi
Traditional to Kyoto, salt-cured mackerel with pressed rice – use your knowledge of this lesser- known sushi to impress maki-guzzling friends.
Sashimi
Something fishy about this item and that’s because it’s not actually sushi at all. The two are frequently mistaken, sashimi is raw fish, served without rice.
Inarizushi
Named after the Shinto god of fertility, rice, agriculture and foxes (his favourite food). No foxes are harmed in the making of these tofu pouches.
Hosomaki
Small but perfectly formed sushi rolls with nori on the outside. Originally using only one filling, this example is spruced up with caviar.
Futomaki
The fat boy of the sushi roll world. Big is beautiful in this case - they’re prized for their attractive combination of fillings.
Gunkanmaki
The ‘warship’ roll means you can go into battle with softer toppings, such as roe, oysters and scallops. A strip of nori puts up the defence.
Nigri
Raw fish served over a rice ball. Soy sauce etiquette agrees that only the fish side should get a dip.
