A sushi chef's essential.This packet of dried kanpyo gourd strips, or calabash, are a must-have if you want to make your own authentic sushi rolls. When reconstituted, these thin, calcium-rich strips can either be added to sushi as they are, or given extra flavour by soaking in different seasonings such as dashi, sugar, soy sauce or mirin. They can also be used for tying together konbumaki, cabbage rolls and more.
