Product Overview

The Sanada Seiko L-8166 is a white polypropylene makisu for shaping sushi rolls. Its closely spaced slats flex around the nori and filling, giving you a washable alternative to a bamboo-and-cord mat. The approximately 242 × 215 mm surface opens flat for arranging the ingredients before rolling.

The non-absorbent plastic is easy to rinse after food preparation. This is a mat-only item, so keep a rice paddle and a separate cutting board nearby. Choose the 9½ × 8½-inch format when you want a compact rolling surface without adding another large tool to the worktop.

Lay out the ingredients before rolling

Place the open mat on a clean work surface, then lay the nori over it. Spread an even layer of rice and arrange the filling in a narrow line so the sheet has room to close.

Lift the edge nearest the filling and guide the mat forward with gentle, even pressure. Keep the mat outside the roll as you work, then open it to release the shaped sushi.

A compact rectangular working area

The mat measures approximately 242 × 215 mm, or 9½ × 8½ inches. Its two sides are different lengths, so orient the rectangle to suit the nori and roll you are preparing.

Keep bowls and utensils beside the mat rather than on its working surface. Once the roll is shaped, move it to a separate cutting board for slicing; the flexible mat is for rolling, not cutting.

Wash by hand after preparation

Wash the mat with dish detergent and a soft sponge, rinse between the slats, and let it dry completely before putting it away. The polypropylene does not absorb water, but food should still be removed promptly.

Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer, and keep the mat out of the microwave and freezer. Store it away from direct heat and avoid cutting on the plastic surface.
