The following is some info that I did not know about the different ways sushi is made:
"There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし)."

wow... >.>'''
just because i'm bored... i'll go a little indepth w/ this tidbit x]
essentially there's maki, nigiri, and chirashi.
as far as maki-zushi goes.... you have
hoso-maki (thin roll) usually 6 pieces
ura-maki (inside-out roll) usually 6-8 pieces
futo-maki (fat roll) should always be 8 pieces
chuu-maki (center roll) usually 4-5 pieces
and te-maki (hand roll) >.>'' one piece...
as for nigiri...
you have gunkan nigiri, and w/ and w/o the obi (that little seaweed that you tie the neta to the shari w/)
oh and yeah... there's also inari.. although i do personally consider inari a form of nigiri
and then there's two styles of chirashi as well
forgot their origins, but in one style you mix the toppings w/ the rice, and in the other style you just decorate it on the rice... think the latter might be northern and the former more southern (i could be wrong on this; please correct me if i am)
