I ate all the sushi rolls in the Delicatessen section at the department stores basement in Tokyo.

Reconstitute Shiitake and gourd shavings with water.
Cut the Shiitake and carrot into 1cm width sticks.
Put the Shiitake, carrot, and gourd shavings into a pot, add Seasoning A and heat. When it boils, switch to low heat for 10 min.
Boil the Japanese honewort in salted hot water for 30 sec. and pour cold water on it. Use a paper towel to absorb the water.
To the egg, add sugar and soy sauce and mix. Fry the egg in a thick layer and cut in 1cm width sticks.
Put the sushi nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your fingers with vinegared water and spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving 2cm open at the top edge.
On the rice, place the shiitake, carrot, gourd shavings, thick egg layer, and Japanese honewort. (From the center to the top.)
While pressing down on the ingredients with your fingertips, roll the sushi rice from edge to edge. Roll and tighten so there is no slack.
When the nori becomes flexible， cut the roll into sushi pieces.
