【English Name】Gomoku sushi / Gomoku zushi

Gomokuzushi is sushi in which many seasoned ingredients such as lotus root, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, kanpyo (dried gourd shavings), and anago (conger eel) are mixed into vinegared rice. Since it is made as home cooking, the seafood, vegetables, simmered ingredients, and other items available in the region are freely mixed together. The difference between gomokuzushi and chirashizushi is that gomokuzushi has the ingredients mixed into the vinegared rice, while chirashizushi has the ingredients scattered over the vinegared rice; however, there is no strict definition, and interpretations differ by region.
