Hasegawa has put a modern spin on a traditional Japanese cooking instrument. For those unaware, a Makisu (巻きす) is a type of rolling mat used for making sushi rolls. Traditionally these were made with bamboo, or cotton strings.

​

Hasegawa's makisu is made with plastic and filaments which prevent rice from sticking to it and reduce dirt build-up. They do not splinter like traditional wooden makisu. This eliminates the need to wrap the makisu in cling film, speeding up prep and cleaning in the kitchen. Make incredible, authentic sushi with tools used by Japanese professional chefs!
