Reply to comment by alzee76 in TIL Fish is not the main component of sushi, it's rice by TranquillizeMe

You're right, Nigiri can be with anything, avocado or tamago for instance. I did not know that about both being types of sushi though, learn something every day.

Sure. As the OP discovered, the rice is the important part of "sushi" and everything that uses it is called sushi as far as I know. You just stick a different word on the front to describe the kind of sushi it is, then in informal speech or over time, the suffix gets dropped.
