TIP-for ease of slicing sushi rolls-use very sharp knife, don't mash it, just make a clean slice, rinse knife with warm water to help knife slice easier.

Nori is seaweed, an edible, dried preparation of red algae of the genus Porphyra.. There are various qualities of nori-make sure not to get a chewy one-hard to eat the sushi. I use Dungeness crab for California rolls-but fresh Dungeness is abundant here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Seasoned Rice Vinegar has a great flavour and is great for salads also.
Be sure and check out the videos of Tracy Griffith from the Tomato Fest on how to make American Sushi. Yes her sister is Melanie Griffith!
BTW-try mixing the wasabi powder with water-it spreads easily that way. Real wasabi is amazing. Some Japanese markets carry it fresh and just grate on to the sushi or serve in a side dish. The heat and flavour is quite different and far more woderful than "wasabi" that is often sold which is merely horseradish and green food colouring.
Sorry-never place the sushi roll in the refrigerator. You use warm rice for a reason.
Now left over sushi rolls can be refrigerated, and dipped in egg the next day and fried for a tasty lunch. Our many Japanese xchange students taught us this trick over the years.
