Little Miss Bento

Mount Fuji sushi ~ or also known as more endearing name Fuji san kazarimaki rolls. 

Mount Fuji / Fuji san （富士山）is Japan’s highest mountain at some 3776metres tall. An active volcano, Mount Fuji is regarded as one of the key symbols of Japan, often depicted in art and products and remains as a popular tourist spot. 

I had much fun making this Fuji san deco sushi roll!

It has been about half a month since I made new deco sushi rolls, ever since I posted the updates on my Instagram on my second cookbook photo shoot. 

Yes! I will be publishing my second cookbook mid of this year and this time it will be on kazarimaki sushi which is deco sushi rolls. 

More about that will be updated!

I actually made this yesterday but was for meetings so only managed to write the blog post today.

Using blue pea flowers extra with a little blue gel food coloring, I was able to cook the rice into a nice blue hue. I prepared this first for Stitch bento and refrigerated the leftover rice.

Fuji-san came to my mind when I was thinking what I could make with the blue color rice. 

I wanted to depict the sunset at Mount Fuji for this kazarimaki sushi roll.

So I used both orange sushi rice (sushi rice with some salmon soft furikake) and yellow sushi rice (rice with some yellow deco furikake) to form the skyline.

The orange sun is actually Japanese pickled burdock called Yamagobo. It is commonly used in futomaki sushi. Details on the tableware

• Japanese plate from Crate&Barrel (I visited the Ion branch)
• Chopsticks and small dish from Style Store Japan.
• Black serving plate and Chawan from Daiso
• Mount Fuji chopstick rest was bought in Japan (I can’t remember the store)

Have a wonderful day~
