The Longest Sushi Roll
It is found that 1 m of suhsi roll requires almost or more than 1 kg of cooked sushi rice, or 455 g of dry grain rice, which is converted by 2.2 times to cooked rice in weight, or 1.33 times in volume.
A 5 cm, 2 inches diameter of the roll, with ingredients, is the specification for the Guinness Record.
1 sheet of nori seaweed, 19 x 21 cm or 7.5 x 8.3 inches, can roll 6 cm, 2.3 inches diameter of futo-maki (thick roll), and a half sheet can 2.5 cm, 1 inch diameter of hoso-maki (thin roll) sushi rolls.
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches = 30.48 cm; 1 pound (lb.) = 0.4536 kg
