I think this is a great idea though. Just don't go make the mistake that any fish could do. Of the twenty tons of fish in NYC sold as sushi, only around 8 are sushi grade. properly made sushi rice should keep for a few days due to the vinegar, but most sushi chefs prefer to make it often.

I don't eat rice anymore, but if I did I would probably have already tried something like this. Sometimes I head to the supermarket and farmers market in back of the Port Authority and get some things to make lunch for the week. One time I bought some lox, cream, cheese, bagels, with carrots. Had lunch for the entire week. This made me laugh. I don’t eat rice anymore, but if I did I would probably have already tried something like this.

I used to have a bamboo mat somewhere, but I never felt is was all that necessary, but keeping things of my desk sure isn't bad. A back, come to think of it, would be some plastic wrap to help roll and add a better level of sanitation. Also the gloves aren't a bad idea either... These recommendations are great. Maybe in the future I will try bringing rice and also cut veggies to experiment some more with rolls. Also. The money saved on Monday only helped to feed my addiction to Beard Papa cream puffs next door at Cafe Zaiya... hmmm.

You could also make rice and bring it in from home to cut out that cost and really, just buy the raw fish every day. That's pretty awesome. People at work think I'm weird enough for the bento though. I wish I had a Japanese market or something that sold raw fish in blocks like that around my office though :P Haha, or smell like vinegar (above commenter w/the gloves) but rice balls are best rolled with salty water hands, I think (preference, anyway).

I am going to try that. also get power-free vinyl gloves, it wont make your fingers all sticky.
