Ohyo no kobujime no temarizushi / mini sushi balls with fresh halibut sandwitched in kelp

Temarizushi, small globes of sushi with assorted ingredients, is another fun way to serve homemade sushi. Here is an example with ohyo halibut made into kobujime. Despite my strong image of temarizushi as being for girls’ parties, this is one of Tom’s current favorite ways to enjoy fresh halibut.

Inarizushi / sushi in tofu packets

Sushi rice bagged in usuage deep-fried tofu packets. By combining somewhat sweet sushi rice with usuage cooked in salty sweet broth, this tasty dish becomes truly satisfying. It is one of the typical rice dishes parents prepare for kids’ school events – at least when I was young. Great for picnics, parties and potlucks.

Chirashizushi / sushi with assorted ingredients and julienned egg crepe

In my hometown, chirashizushi features root vegetables cooked in broth, unlike the chirashizushi topped with raw, marinated or cooked seafood in some other areas, including Tokyo. When I was growing up, chirashizushi always appeared at celebrations such as March 3 (doll festival or girls' day), hanami cherry blossom viewing in April-May, birthdays and gatherings with friends. It is my favorite sushi from the home kitchen.
