The origin of Temaki
The temaki It's a kind of cone-shaped sushi made and eaten by hand. This dish emerged in the 19th century as a fast food option for the Japanese who lived in Edo, a city that later became the capital Tokyo.
At the time, sushi kiosks were the most popular option, because of the ease and speed of preparation and consumption. The conical shape came about so that the soy sauce, which was served with the temaki, wouldn't drip on people's clothes.
Temaki became very successful at that time precisely because it was quickly prepared, since this dish is prepared and consumed with your own hands, because it was very difficult to get it with chopsticks.
