If you are interested in learning how to make your own sushi at home, are a sushi fanatic like myself, or wanting to buy sushi gifts or sushi presents for someone you know, you've come to the right place!
If there is one thing you must have, I highly recommend buying a sushi rice cooker.
Rice cookers can cook every type of rice, specify what type of rice you are cooking (sushi, white, brown, a few others) with extra settings like "softer" or "harder". After extensive reviewing of sushi rice makers, I found that the vast majority of people prefer "Zojirushi" brand of rice makers, specifically those that have a "Sushi" rice setting on them (which is pretty much all of them). I bought one of these myself a few years ago, and WOW what a difference it makes in preparing the sushi rice. As I mentioned on the "Sushi Recipe" page, I explain how to cook sushi rice from home with simply a pot of water and rice. That is the painful way to do it, but the less expensive way. It is a much bigger mess to clean up than using a rice cooker. You can get a really good sushi rice maker for a really great price! You can just put the rice into the rice cooker, with water, press the button on the rice cooker, and walk away. It beeps when the rice is done. It comes out perfect every time! With a pot of rice and water, rice always gets burned on the bottom of the pot, the rice in the middle doesnt get cooked the same amount as the rice on top, uneven textures between mushy and slightly overcooked rice can ruin what whould have otherwise been a good sushi feast.
Other products you are likely to need if you want to make sushi are: Bamboo mats, Nori (seaweed sheets), and probably "short grain" rice also known as sush rice -- most grocery stores, at least around here, dont even sell sushi rice, and I have to drive 20 miles to the nearest asian food market to pick some up. It costs less for me to just buy it online and have it shipped to my house, once calculating the price of gas to fill up my car on those "wasted" miles to the asian market.
If there are any sushi products you are looking for and can't find, you might try using the "Submit" page contact form, ask me, I just might know where you can get it!
