Sushi Donburi

すしどんぶり

Alternative spelling: 寿司(すし)(どんぶり)

Sushi donburi refers to a traditional Japanese rice bowl topped with various sushi ingredients. The term is composed of the words sushi and donburi (rice bowl). Typically, a sushi donburi includes fresh sashimi slices, such as maguro (tuna), sake (salmon), and hamachi (yellowtail), as well as other classic sushi ingredients like ikura (salmon roe) and tamago (sweet Japanese omelette).

Unlike traditional sushi, where the ingredients are presented in small portions, sushi donburi allows for a more generous serving. The ingredients are artfully arranged on a base of sushi rice, providing an aesthetic and functional presentation. This method offers the advantage of enjoying the variety of ingredients without the need for rolling or shaping the sushi.

Sushi donburi is popular both in restaurants and home kitchens, and enjoys great popularity due to its adaptability to individual preferences. The quality and freshness of the fish used are crucial for the taste and quality of the dish.
