Uramaki calories: estimates per piece
Uramaki have rice on the outside and may contain fish, avocado, cream cheese, sauces, or fried ingredients.
Common uramaki
Fillings and toppings explain much of the calorie difference. Piece size also varies between restaurants.
For a personal estimate, choose the closest type and enter how many pieces you ate.
Compared with hosomaki and sashimi, uramaki tend to be higher in calories because they combine rice, filling, and often toppings or sauces. Rolls with tempura or double cream cheese sit at the higher end of the range.
| Type | Estimate per piece |
| Salmon and avocado | 38–65 kcal |
| Philadelphia | 46–85 kcal |
| Tempura shrimp | 55–100 kcal |
Add extra sauces and toppings separately.
Frequently asked questions
- How many calories are in one uramaki?
- A single uramaki roughly ranges from 38 to 100 kcal per piece, depending on filling, sauces, and whether it's tempura. Multiply accordingly for an 8-piece roll.
- Are uramaki higher in calories than nigiri?
- Often yes, because they combine rice, filling, and toppings. Nigiri is a slice of fish over a little rice, so it tends toward a lower range.
- How do I estimate a whole roll?
- Count the pieces in the roll (usually 8) and multiply by the per-piece estimate, adding sauces and toppings separately.
