Inari-zushi (lit.stuffed sushi) A pouch of fried tofu filled with usually just sushi rice.It is named after the Shinto god Inari,who is believe to have a fondness for fried tofu.
The pouch is normally fashioned as deep-fried tofu(abura age).Regional variations include pouches are made of a thin omelette(fukusa-zushi or chakin-zushi) or dried gourd shavings(kapyo).It should not be confused with inari-maki,which is a roll filled with flavored fried tofu.A very large version,sweeter than normal and often containing bits of carrot,is popular in Hawaii,where it is called "cone sushi".
