I found this photo on the internet. I am going to japan next week. I would like to know what is the veggie on the sushi. I think it looks like some spring onion but would like to be sure.

2Can't say for sure, but it looks like spring onion… however, it doesn't look like actual Japanese sushi, it looks a bit "LA nouveau" to me. Are you certain it's actually Japanese? – Tetsujin Sep 15 '19 at 17:37

Not really sure but the site mention Yoshi Zushi in Ueno, Tokyo. – vasin1987 Sep 15 '19 at 17:39

5Can't be totally sure but it looks more like chives to me. – Cindy Sep 15 '19 at 17:39

tbh, it's nearly 20 years since I was there… I guess there's such a thing as 're-importing' LA ideas back to Japan ;) @Cindy chives are 'green all the way', spring onions go to white, but I'm not sure; you may be right. stupid long google images link – Tetsujin Sep 15 '19 at 17:57

@Tetsujin Looking at the pics you linked, I'm thinking maybe Asian chives? – Cindy Sep 15 '19 at 18:23

@Cindy - I'd had that thought too - but still can't be 100% certain – Tetsujin Sep 15 '19 at 18:30

Incidentally - Japan is really good at showing you pictures of everything you're about to order [& even stunningly realistic plastic models in some places] - you could maybe reverse that onto the serving staff & show them that picture. There's every possibility they will recognise it immediately. – Tetsujin Sep 15 '19 at 18:34

@Tetsujin Guess we can't know for sure. Perhaps the OP can update us after his trip. – Cindy Sep 15 '19 at 19:23

1Looks like nira (don't know the english name of that) – Juliana Karasawa Souza Sep 17 '19 at 11:21

@JulianaKarasawaSouza this? The entry gives “Nira” as Japanese name. – Stephie Sep 17 '19 at 14:14

@Stephie, yeah, looks a little bit like it ^^' – Juliana Karasawa Souza Sep 17 '19 at 14:54

1Welcome! Instead of a “filler”, the answer would benefit from a bit more information... and as both links essential lead to one source, it definitely needs more details and explanation to avoid a “spammy” touch. – Stephie Sep 17 '19 at 14:18

1@Stephie, I really don't have anything positive to say about scallion sushi, so I thought it would be better to leave it at that. I linked two separate sources with different takes on the dish. – NothingToSeeHere Sep 17 '19 at 16:49
