For people who like rice but not fish, serve vegetarian makisushi (simple rolls). Common vegetarian ingredients include avocado, cucumber, and plum. You could also use cooked chicken or beef instead of fish, though at that point your food is becoming more Japanese-inspired than Japanese-- by which I mean that I've never seen "grilled steak maki" served anywhere in Japan.

Well, we just had a great Japanese dinner in Manhattan with nary a bit of sushi in sight. I had yakatori and dumplings stuffed with Berkshire pork and vegetables for appetizers and tenzaru soba (buckwheat noodles with tempura shrimp and vegetables) for a main. They have their own buckwheat farm in Quebec so they get excellent flour and make the noodles. |

LOL. Sillier than you ever imagined, probably, as I never been to Japan and am likely never to go. :D It is merely an observation from the outside looking in and applies solely to my own perceptions, be they ignorant or real. ;) But, definitely not a condemnation of the food available in Japan. They obviously eat, so they must like it.
Best regards, William R. Sanders Social Media Specialist Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide [email protected] Well then since fair is fair and I have immensely enjoyed your city twice, when you come visit I will help you find a great meal or two over here. Open invitation. :) Mike |

Another substitute comes to mind..
smoked salmon.. looks raw.. |
There actually is an accepted Japanese sushi substitute that isn't made with rice.
It's made with buckwheat noodles instead and rarely if ever features raw fish
The recipe book "Washoku" by Elizabeth Ando explains an elegant way to make soba zushi where the ends of the noodles are tied together whilst cooking so that the strands can be rolled neatly. I've eaten soba zushi at Kanda Yabu Soba in Kanda, Tokyo. It can be found in many other restaurants across Japan. Here's a messier version on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yk1U3wP9Wg If you want a more classic sushi style rather than the norimaki kind of sushi then there's this variation I've never personally come across before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3XvwMnsSmA Or here is a portion of buckwheat noodles seasoned with vinegar topped with sweet omelet http://kutte-neru.img.jugem.jp/20110426_679246.jpg (from this blog entry: http://kutte-neru.jugem.jp/?eid=680) Look through the images here http://www.google.com/search?q=%E3%8...w=1621&bih=901 If you want to see alternatives to nori seaweed wrappers. Let me know if you need any help identifying any of them. --- Soba zushi still too weird? Here's an image from a magazine I have showing a Spanish restaurant in Tokyo's take out tapas selection. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n1sjt7SfiA...apas+bento.jpg In it tapas on bread (in the tradition of "montaditos" or "pintxos") are presented in a very Japanese style. At first glance, I guess this could be mistaken for a tray of sushi... |

Can't tell.. but is that marshmallows underneath the figures that's supposed to look like rice. Might be a chance that's coconut.
