Vegesushi: How Three Japanese Creatives are Stirring up the Sushi World:
Sushi is a quintessential Japanese food, but making it the right way just isn't easy. At most sushi restaurants in Japan, you can expect that the person behind the counter has probably been training as a sushi chef for years - if not decades. Put simply, it's not something that you can pick up and do lightly. And for vegetarians or vegans who might want to eat sushi, the options are pretty limited - it's cucumber rolls, natto rolls, and maybe a shiso maki roll if you're lucky.
Finding a way, then, to make interesting and appealing sushi for vegetarians, and in a way that doesn't take years of practice, is a pretty tricky problem to solve. But with a little ingenuity, and the help of a traditional Japanese kitchen tool, a creative trio came across a clever - and tasty - solution, and it's been getting plenty of attention in Japan and overseas.

My daughter is #Pescetarian, so typical sushi is in her wheel house but she will appreciate vegetarian options. My friend @gabriannaccone is #vegan so I am throwing #vegetarian things at her with the thought that they're editable.
