About California roll

uramakizushi containing cucumber, crab or imitation crab, and avocado, originating in North America

California roll , or California maki, is a type of sushi that contains imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber. Sometimes crab salad is substituted for the crab stick. In America it comes as uramaki and often the outer layer of rice is sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds or roe. Outside America, California rolls may be closer to the traditional design or Futomaki, with nori seaweed on the outside.
