Philadelphia roll

A Philadelphia roll is a makizushi (also classified as a kawarizushi)[1] type of sushi generally made with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber.[2] It can also include other ingredients, such as other types of fish,[3] avocado,[4] scallions,[5] and sesame seed.

A Philadelphia roll with less commonly used raw salmon and cream cheese. Originally, the roll uses smoked salmon.

Etymology

The name "Philadelphia roll" is derived from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand. Incorporating smoked salmon ("lox") and cream cheese in a sushi roll took this popular combination of ingredients from its use on a bagel when sushi increased in popularity in North America from the 1980s.
