Gunkan-maki (軍艦巻) is the Japanese term for seafood on rice, wrapped in laver (青海苔 アオノリ aonori).
Gunkanmaki is a type of sushi made by wrapping vinegared rice in nori (seaweed) and placing sushi toppings on top. It was named for its resemblance to a warship. It is characterised by being able to provide small and easily deformed items such as salmon roe, sea urchin, whitebait, negitoro (ネギトロ, minced raw tuna scrape), tobiko (とびこ, flying fish roe), and aemono (和え物, "tossed" or "dressed" salad).
