Scattered sushi in a bowl

Chirashi sushi – “scattered sushi” – is a festive, fuss-free form of sushi: instead of rolling, the topping is scattered over seasoned rice.

Fresh sashimi pieces, egg and vegetables shine over sushi rice; in Japan the dish is often served at the girls' festival Hinamatsuri.
