Futomaki sushi has been around for centuries and is believed to have originated in the Osaka area of Japan. The word “futo” literally translates to “thick” or “fat,” which refers to the larger size and greater variety of fillings found in these sushi rolls. It was initially served as an offering in religious ceremonies, although over time it has become a popular dish served in restaurants, as well as a staple food item in many households.
