Battera Sushi-Traditional Sushi Recipe 

Battera Sushi is a traditional sushi roll that is both easy to make and 
delicious. This post will show you how to make simple, unique, and 
beautiful Battera Sushi that will amaze your friends and family. 

Introduction to Battera Sushi 


Firstly Battera Sushi is a type of mackerel fish sushi roll from Osaka, 
Japan. Moreover it is a type of sushi that can also be m​ ade with other 
seafood​ like smoked salmon or shrimp.  

Likewise, it got its name around 1893 from t​ he way it is shaped​ like a 
small boat on its side when the fishermen made it with Konoshiro 
Gizzard Shad topping.  

Additionally it usually consists of three layers of ingredients: vinegar 


cured mackerel, Shiso leaves, and finally ​sushi rice​.  

Most of the time this mackerel roll is created with the use of a ​wooden 
rectangular sushi press rice mold​. Which is a great sushi making kit 
that g
​ ives its shape​ by pressing the rice along with the fish in the box. 

Mackerel Pressed Sushi VS. Battera Sushi 

Contrastingly the main difference between the two sushi is that a 


piece of ​thinly dried seed-weed​ is placed on top of the mackerel 
before cutting. But the rest of the steps are the same: 

First of all, place mackerel fillet inside the mold. Next layer the thinly 
chopped Shiso leaves under the marinated fish. Then when you’re 
done you fill the r​ ectangular press​ with vinegar sushi rice. Finally 
compress the ingredients together with the help of the ​Oshibako 
press​. 
 

Ingredients for Battera Sushi: 


Besides using mackerel for sushi, there are also other great Battera 
Sushi seafood toppings. Subsequently there is fresh/pickled herrings, 
smoked salmon, eel, vegetables, shrimp, or crab. Don’t be afraid to be 
creative with ingredients. 

Nonetheless, here’s what you need for four servings: 

● Sushi press mold 


● 2 ​Thinly dried seed-weed 
● 2 tablespoons of ​caster sugar 
● 1/2 cup ​rice vinegar 
● 1/4 tablespoon of light soy sauce 
● 8 Shiso leaves 
● Vinegar sushi rice 
● 2 tablespoon of r​ ice vinegar 

Cooking Direction: 
1. Firstly remove any small bones on the mackerel before sprinkling the fish on 
both sides lightly with salt. When finished with the fish, put it on a tray and 
refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  
2. Finally after one hour you want to take the fish ​out of the fridge​ and rinse off 
the salt that was added to the fish.  
3. Marinate the mackerel with the combination of 1/4 tablespoon of light soy 
sauce, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, and 1/2 cup rice vinegar.  
4. Then let the mackerel immerse in the marinade, while covering it with Saran 
Wrap and refrigerate for an hour. 
5. Subsequently, use the 2 tablespoon of ​extra vinegar ​to moisten rectangular 
wall part and the base of the s ​ ushi press mold​. Additionally moisten your 
hand also, since the ​rice vinegar​ will prevent the rice from sticking to them.  
6. Following take the mackerel fillets out of the fridge and c ​ ut them in a proper 
portion size​ to the base of the ​sushi press mold​. If you’re doing this properly, 
the fillets should easily cover the base.  
7. Thus once you ​properly cut the fillets​ and fit it into the s
​ ushi press mold​, you 
want to layer the Shiso leaves on top of the mackerel. 
8. Accordingly ​add the sushi rice​ to fill the mold, and using your fingers make 
sure to tuck them into the corners and fill evenly to the rim. 
9. Then you want to compress the ​sushi rice​ firmly into the mold. Then when 
you make sure that it is firm, flip the mold over and remove the top piece.  
10. Lastly add the c ​ ooked thinly dried seed-weed​ to the top of the mackerel 
before ​finally cutting them​ into smaller pieces. Hence what this does is give 
the sushi dish an umami flavor.
