A makisu, the flat bamboo mat every sushi kitchen keeps beside the board. Slim rods of pale blond bamboo lie side by side and four rows of white cotton string hold them together, so the whole mat rolls in one direction and stays rigid across the other. That is the entire trick: the mat does the shaping and your hands only guide it.
It measures 24 by 24 cm (9.4 by 9.4 in), the standard size for a full sheet of nori, so a normal sheet lies on it with a margin at the top to seal the roll. Use it for maki, for thicker futomaki, for tamagoyaki, and for pressing onigiri into an even shape.
Specifications
- Size: 24 by 24 cm (9.4 by 9.4 in)
- Material: natural bamboo, bound with cotton string
- Finish: unvarnished, pale natural blond
- Contents: one rolling mat
- Care: rinse and wipe under warm water, stand on edge to air dry fully before storing
Why you will like it
- 24 by 24 cm (9.4 by 9.4 in), sized to a standard full sheet of nori
- Untreated bamboo, so nothing sits between the mat and your food
- Rolls in one direction and holds firm across the other
- Flat enough to store in a drawer or hang on a hook
- Rinses clean under the faucet in seconds
How to use it
- Lay the mat down with the rods running left to right, so it rolls away from you.
- Put a sheet of nori on it, shiny side down, and spread cooled sushi rice over it, leaving a clear strip along the far edge.
- Lay your filling in a line across the rice, nearer the edge closest to you.
- Lift the near edge of the mat with your thumbs, tuck the filling in with your fingers, and roll forward, pressing gently as you go.
- Seal the bare strip of nori with a little water, then let the roll rest a minute before cutting.
Where it works
- Home kitchen counter, for maki and thicker futomaki
- A drawer or a hook, since it stores completely flat
- Anywhere you shape tamagoyaki, onigiri or rice paper wraps
Care
Rinse under warm water straight after use, before rice dries between the rods, and wipe along the grain. Stand it on edge so air reaches both faces and let it dry fully before it goes back in a drawer. Keep untreated bamboo out of the dishwasher.

01
The Mat Does the Shaping
Rods of bamboo laid side by side and tied with cotton string bend one way and stay rigid the other. That is what turns a loose line of rice and filling into a round, even roll, and it is why a flat mat beats anything with moving parts.
02
Cut to the Size of a Nori Sheet
At 24 by 24 cm (9.4 by 9.4 in) it matches a standard full sheet of nori, so the seaweed lies flat with a clear margin at the top to seal against. No trimming, no guessing, no roll that runs off the end of the mat.
03
Nothing to Break, Nothing to Store
It rinses under the faucet, dries on its edge and slides into a drawer flat. Aurenne Decor stocks the plain bamboo makisu rather than a plastic gadget because this is the version that lasts and the one every sushi counter actually uses.
Good to know
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly comes in the box?
One bamboo rolling mat, 24 by 24 cm (9.4 by 9.4 in), in pale natural bamboo bound with four rows of white cotton string. That is all a makisu needs to be, and it is the same mat a sushi counter reaches for.
Which way round does it go?
Lay it so the bamboo rods run left to right in front of you. The mat then rolls away from you, which is the direction you want. If the rods run toward you it will not roll at all, and that is the single most common reason a first attempt falls apart.
Do I need to cover it in plastic wrap?
Only for inside out rolls, where the rice sits on the outside and would otherwise press into the bamboo. For ordinary maki with the nori on the outside the bare mat is fine, and a light wipe with a damp cloth beforehand stops anything sticking.
How do I clean it?
Rinse it under warm water straight after use, before rice has a chance to dry between the rods, and wipe along the grain. Then stand it on edge so air reaches both faces and let it dry completely before it goes in a drawer. It is untreated bamboo, so keep it out of the dishwasher.
Is it only good for sushi?
No. The same mat shapes tamagoyaki, the rolled Japanese omelette, presses onigiri into an even triangle or cylinder, and rolls vegetable and rice paper wraps. Anything you want to shape into a firm cylinder is fair game.
