I tend to look at maki rolls the same way I do burritos - anything goes. As long as it’s in my fridge, it’s fair game. I made JJ a ‘club sandwich’ maki roll for his bento with rolled up deli turkey slices and mayo. Mine is a sort of pseudo-California roll, sans avocado (which kind of takes out the California part - oh well), with crab and assorted veggies and herbs. It’s handy eating, though perhaps a little less ‘rustic’ than the noble burrito. Click through the pic for details, as per usual.
With this lunch, I am offically done with the duck, quiche, and Juliet tomatoes. Next week will be a whole new kettle o’ something. Not sure what yet.

Marukai here in LA. It’s a chain of Japanese grocery stores. They also have a chain of Daiso stores that focus more on home goods and they JUST opened one up in San Diego….which means more bento goodness and an eventual road trip.
And thanks! Keep an eye out for today’s contest

I was just in Marukai in J-town yesterday, before my bento inspiration. I’ll have to go back!

I got mine at the one in West Covina. You may want to call ahead to see if they carry them because not all of the branches do. I discovered that the hard way.
