Top 14 Best Sushi Making Kit Reviews In 2020

BambooWorx Sushi Making Kit

This kit from BambooWorx is faithful to the traditional way of making sushi. I prefer using bamboo as the material as it gives you a more natural feel and may even affect the taste. The kit includes two bamboo rolling mats, a rice paddle, and a rice spreader.

Despite using traditional materials, this bamboo kit is very sturdy. The mats hold in rice and other fillings well. And you won’t find splinters or unraveling cotton strings on them. The mats are square-shaped with each side measuring 9.5 inches.

One thing to note is that you should use a saran or plastic wrap between the mats and the sushi so that it is easier to clean up afterward. To best maintain these mats, you should clean them by hand with mild soap and warm water. Make sure that you don’t place them near high heat like sunlight or direct fire.

The rice spoon and rice spreader are made of wood and about 8 inches long. The spoon is used to mix rice with vinegar, whereas the spreader is used to spread rice evenly. There are also chopsticks included.
