These gunkan makis look absolutely great. Bookmarked your page and will try to find wasabi tobiko somewhere.

Great blog and happy 4th anniversary belated

Gunkan maki can be filled with nearly anything. When I lived in Japan, one of my favorites was ‘kani salad’ which was simply a gunkan maki-style tub filled with an imitation crab stick salad. You could even skip making the salad and pick some up at the deli.

Another gunkan sushi option was finely-chopped tuna with a few scallions on top. I suspect the tuna was the leftover pieces from rolls. They’d just chop them w/ two knives until the tuna was a smooth, almost paste-like consistency. Fill the gunkan with the tuna, then top it with a few scallions for a real treat.

For those who are afraid of anything raw, put some sweet corn in the gunkan maki. Cheat and use the vacuum-packed Mexi corn for something different. A lightly steamed asparagus would be yummy, as would a bit of seasoned ground beef. Options are limited only by your imagination.

I have a question – does anyone know where I can get an ingredient called “miso paste”? it’s an ingredient in a dressing that goes over a halved avocado filled with lump crab meat (delish)….thanks!

We also used some wasabi tobiko (the smaller green fish eggs), but contrary to what their name claims, they didn’t really add any spice to the sushi. If you like ikura and tobiko, you might like it on Inari-Zushi too… we tried it and found it is a really good combination! Jude Steven, Editor of Koi Guide
