Also known as oshi-zushi (pressed sushi) or Osaka-zushi, the name derives from the way it is made: the vinegared rice is packed into a square wooden mold, topped with shrimp, fish, or other kinds of seafood, and pressed down to form a firm "cake" of sushi, which is served in slices. Because the process is rather laborious, fewer shops prepare it these days, but it remains popular as a specialty of the Osaka region.
