Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is inari sushi? A: Inari sushi (inarizushi) is a type of Japanese sushi consisting of seasoned sushi rice stuffed inside sweet, savoury fried tofu pockets called aburaage. It's one of Japan's most popular and accessible sushi styles — no rolling required, naturally vegetarian, and loved by adults and children alike.

Q: Do I need to cook the Misuzu Inari tofu pockets before using? A: No — they come pre-seasoned and ready to use straight from the pack. Simply open the pockets gently, fill with your prepared sushi rice, and serve. No additional cooking or simmering required.

Q: How do I open the tofu pockets without tearing them? A: Gently separate the layers of each tofu pocket with your fingers, working carefully from the open edge. They're soft and pliable — handle them gently and they'll open easily without tearing.
