The Temakizushi Wrapper You Never Knew You Needed
So as a rice appreciator, you've been making temakizushi following the instructions in our how-to guide, but you're disappointed by one small thing: soggy nori. The nori sticks to the rice, soaks up a bit of moisture while you're working or playing, and then you open your temakizushi and it's soft and droopy. It's still delicious, but you feel like the nori is letting your perfectly cooked rice down.
Well, friends, we're pleased to inform you that the good people at Seinichi have a solution to your seaweed problems: The Disposable Take-Out Temakizushi Wrapper.
Fresh, Crisp Temakizushi at the Top of the Mountain

Convenience stores in Japan all have plastic wrappers like the Seinichi that keep their nori fresh until the customer is ready to eat it. If it works for 7/11, surely it will work for you.
Now, we will show you how you can maximize your temakizushi's freshness meter.
