About Iwakuni Sushi (layered pressed sushi)

This pressed sushi is made in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is also known as “samurai lord’s sushi” because it was traditionally brought along when visiting Iwakuni Castle.

Its preparation is distinctive: rather than making individual portions, cooks prepare a large batch, using four to five *shō* of cooked rice at a time, and layer the rice and fillings in a large wooden mold.
