Question: what is the difference between sushi and maki?
Answer: Nigiri is sushi that is a little clump of rice topped with raw fish or other toppings. Maki is sushi that is a roll - both loose temaki or hand rolls that is like an ice cream cone shape or more tightly rolled ones with pickles or fish inside. Sashimi refers only to slices of raw fish or shellfish—NO RICE.
