Beef Negimaki can also be dubbed 'sushi for carnivores', as it consists of strips of teriyaki-marinated beef that are rolled with scallions. This dish originates from Manhattan in the 1960s. It was invented by Nobuyoshi Kuroaka at Restaurant Nippon after the New York Times critic Craig Claiborne proposed that a dish containing beef would be of great appeal to the American patrons. The meat of choice for beef Negimaki is usually flank steak, and it should be tender and succulent. It's recommended to serve these rolls with rice on the side and drizzle them with the sauce.

Mochi, the tiny cakes made out of glutinous rice, are an important part of Japanese cuisine and culture. The preparation of mochi starts with a time-consuming process of pounding boiled or steamed rice, usually the glutinous mochigome variety until it forms into a thick and homogenous paste. Later it is rolled and shaped into small circular forms. Although its origins might be in China, mochi has been associated with Japan for centuries. It initially appeared during the Yayoi period, when it was only enjoyed by the aristocracy, up until the Heian period, when it became a food that was commonly prepared and served during religious festivities, as people believed it brings fortune and health. Mochi can be incorporated in savory dishes, usually soups and snacks, but most commonly it is made into a confectionery item. In its dessert form, mochi is usually dressed up with food coloring, creating a myriad of delightful color combinations. The most common confectionery is referred to as daifuku - round cakes filled with different ingredients such as the traditional red bean paste, strawberries, or ice cream. Due to its chewy texture, it is important to be extra careful and attentive while eating mochi and to take tiny bites of this glutinous treat.
