Maki found primarily in
American Sushi Restaurants.
Philadelphia maki contains
smoked salmon and
cream cheese, occasionally
cucumber, wrapped in
sushi rice and
seaweed.
Noder's Note: While smoked salmon and cream cheese are wonderful on a bagel, this is a questionable combination. It is a delicious introductory piece of sushi, however. People who are squeamish about eating raw fish will not turn up their nose at smoked salmon. This maki will stand on its own, although a very small amount of soy sauce nicely accents the cream cheese.
