Plastic food wrap, a thin, flexible film commonly used in kitchens worldwide, plays a vital role in sushi preparation.
Sushi chefs use this wrap to cover ingredients and prepared sushi, preserving their freshness and preventing them from drying out, especially important for sushi rice and nigiri.
Additionally, plastic wrap is used during the rolling process of makizushi (rolled sushi), aiding in maintaining the roll's shape and preventing rice and other ingredients from sticking to the sushi mat, ensuring a clean, precise finish.
