Korea eats them up, yum! Now, we may all think of Japan when it comes to sushi rolls, but Korea also has a similar food that they call Gimbap. Don’t let the above picture fool you, however, gimbap is usually a really delicious take on sushi with some common Korean ingredients like kimchi.
What we see here is the latest dining craze in Korea. It’s basically just a sushi roll with saury in the middle but for some mystifying reason the head and tail is still attached. What’s stranger is according to the buzz on Twitter, it’s awesome!
