Philadelphia roll

A Philadelphia roll is a makizushi (also classified as a kawarizushi)^[1] type of sushi generally made with smoked (or sometimes raw) salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, with the rice on the outside (uramaki).^[2] It is sometimes made with imitation crab instead of salmon, but can be found to include other ingredients, such as other types of fish,^[3] cucumber,^[4] scallions,^[5] and sesame seed. Like many Western-inspired sushi rolls, its design and name are modified to target an American market, which includes putting the rice on the outside, and the nori in the inside (inside-out sushi) to appeal to western aesthetics.^[6][7] It is the most popular sushi roll in many countries such as Russia.^[8]

A Philadelphia roll with less commonly used raw salmon and cream cheese. Originally, the roll used smoked salmon.
