{{nihongo3|"hand-pressed sushi"|握り寿司|Nigirizushi}} consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that a chef typically presses between the palms of the hands to form an oval-shaped ball and a topping (the {{transliteration|ja|neta}}) draped over the ball. It is usually served with a bit of [[wasabi]]; toppings are typically fish such as salmon, tuna, or other seafood. Certain toppings are typically bound to the rice with a thin strip of nori, most commonly [[Octopus (food)|octopus]] ({{transliteration|ja|tako}}), freshwater [[Eel (food)|eel]] ({{transliteration|ja|unagi}}), sea eel ({{transliteration|ja|[[anago]]}}), [[Squid (food)|squid]] ({{transliteration|ja|ika}}), and sweet egg ({{transliteration|ja|tamago}}).<!--Is this really disputable enough to require a cite?-->

{{nihongo3|"warship roll"|軍艦巻|Gunkanmaki}} ([[:ja:軍艦巻]]) is a special type of {{transliteration|ja|nigirizushi}}: an oval, hand-formed clump of sushi rice that has a strip of nori wrapped around its perimeter to form a vessel that is filled with some soft, loose or fine-chopped ingredient that requires the confinement of nori such as [[roe]], {{transliteration|ja|nattō}}, oysters, {{transliteration|ja|uni}} ([[sea urchin]] roe), sweetcorn with mayonnaise, scallops, and quail eggs. {{transliteration|ja|Gunkan-maki}} was invented at the [[Ginza]] Kyubey restaurant in 1941; its invention significantly expanded the repertoire of soft toppings used in sushi.<ref>{{cite journal
