Temaki calories: the sushi hand roll
Temaki is a nori cone hand-filled with rice, fish, vegetables, and sometimes sauces. It's a single piece but larger than a maki.
Common temaki
Being a cone, temaki holds more rice and filling than a single roll piece, so the per-unit estimate is higher.
Creamy sauces, tempura, and spicy mayo push the estimate toward the higher end of the range.
A temaki roughly equals the contents of several maki pieces combined, so it's best counted as a single, substantial item in your dinner total.
| Type | Estimate per cone |
| Salmon and avocado temaki | 120–180 kcal |
| Tuna temaki | 110–160 kcal |
| Tempura shrimp temaki | 160–240 kcal |
Cone size and the amount of rice matter a lot.
