I recently realized that in all the six years that Sushi Day has been around, I’ve never once done a single Halloween post.
Not a single one!
Obviously, that needed to change.

I wanted to do something with black and orange fillings, so first I had to find myself some black rice. All I could find at the grocery store was wild rice (which likely wouldn’t work too well for sushi), so I ordered a bag of Chinese black rice [3] from Amazon.
Not only do I love uni and ikura, but they’re also perfect for Halloween – both orange-colored, uni can pass for a slug or a tongue, and ikura kind of looks like eyeballs. Combine that with the black rice (which in the right light, looks just like a mass of little black bugs!) and you’ve got some perfectly creepy Halloween sushi.

I love playing around with the Rice Cube [5] I got earlier this year [6] (Disclaimer: the Rice Cube was a gift, and all Amazon links in this post are affiliate links), plus it’s SO easy to make sushi cubes with it, so I decided to use that to play around for this year’s Halloween sushi.
