A sushi machine or sushi robot is a mechanical device that automatically creates mounds of sushi rice for creating nigiri. Some sushi machines can produce sushi rolls, in which the machine automatically flattens rice into sheets, adds various ingredients such as sashimi, nori and vegetables, rolls them up and then slices the rolls into separate pieces. Some sushi machines are manually operated, without the use of electricity. Automated sushi machines may use a hopper that is filled with sushi rice, from where the rice is fed into the machine and the sushi rice mounds are formed and then ejected. After the rice mounds are ejected, sashimi and other ingredients are manually placed atop them.
Manufacturers
An electric-powered sushi machine manufactured by Suzumo named Sushibot can produce up to 3,600 mounds of sushi rice per hour. Another Suzumo sushi machine produces up to 400 sushi rice mounds per hour. Suzumo is Japan's largest manufacturer of sushi machines, and the company has claimed to have invented the sushi machine in 1981. Additional manufacturers of sushi machines include Robotic Sushi and Taiko Enterprises, both of which produce several models.
