Know before you buy
No, these mats are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the bamboo and prevent warping or splintering, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and warm water, then air drying them thoroughly.
This kit uses round slats, which are traditional for makisu. They provide a textured surface that helps prevent the rice from sticking to the mat while allowing you to apply consistent pressure for a tight, uniform roll.
While not strictly required, wrapping the mat in plastic cling film is a common technique used to keep the bamboo clean and prevent sticky sushi rice from getting lodged between the slats. It makes cleanup significantly faster and more hygienic.
Yes, this set is designed with beginners in mind. It includes all the essential tools—mats, a paddle, and a spreader—to help you learn the mechanics of rolling sushi without needing additional specialized equipment.
After hand washing, ensure the mats are completely dry before storing them. Keep them in a cool, dry place with good airflow, and avoid storing them in airtight containers or damp environments to prevent mold growth.
