Technically, these nori wrapped vegetable rolls are not sushi as there is no vinegar dressed rice involved. Instead of rice, soba noodles, or buckwheat noodles, are tossed in soy sauce and sushi rice dressing then used as the base for this delicious futomaki style roll.

My local Asian market doesn’t regularly stock umeboshi paste, a tangy plum paste used to create the delicious ume-jhiso roll.
