5.0 out of 5 starsThis is expensive, but it is very nice

This was just what I was looking for. Making these by hand is messy and tedious. I wanted something to make it simpler. I already have a susheezi, which is very nice and very quick, but I wanted something to make smaller sushi rolls as well because I don't always have enough rice or fillings for the bigger one. There are videos online that tell you how to use this. Some things I learned re making sushi rolls that I have not found in any book but that I learned from a friend in Japan is that you are supposed to turn the cooked rice out into a bigger bowl and both fluff it up and dry it out a bit, using the paddle that comes with the rice maker. This is why Japanese traditionally used wooden bowls but nowadays they just use plain old glass like we do. And when you make the sushi rolls, the rice should not be packed down - there should be air between the grains so that it 'pops' when you place a piece in your mouth.. No book on making sushi I have ever seen has explained this.
