Kanpyo Sushi Roll is a skinny Sushi roll which has Kanpyo, cooked gourd, inside and Nori, roasted seaweed, outside. The strips of dried gourd are cooked in a sweet and salty sauce until very tender. The sweet taste of cooked Kanpyo matches very well with tangy Sushi rice. Kanpyo Roll is more well known inside Japan, especially the Tokyo area, but it is not as common in the US. Kanpyo Roll may be hard to find on the menu at Japanese restaurants outside Japan, but they might be able to fix it if you ask. This casual Sushi is a great appetizer and good light lunch.
