Oshizushi (押し寿司, "pressed sushi"), also known as 箱寿司, hako-zushi, "box sushi"), is a pressed sushi from the Kansai Region, a favorite and specialty of Osaka.
It is a block-shaped sushi formed using a wooden mold, called an oshibako.
The chef lines the bottom of the oshibako with the toppings, covers
them with sushi rice, and then presses the lid of the mold down to
create a compact, rectilinear block. The block is removed from the mold
and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Particularly famous is バッテラ (battera, pressed mackerel sushi) or 鯖寿司 (saba zushi).[24]
