The Hasegawa Antibacterial Sushi Rolling Mat is a food-safe synthetic makisu for shaping maki rolls, pressed sushi, and other formed rice preparations. Unlike traditional bamboo mats, the polypropylene construction resists bacteria, does not absorb moisture or odors, and can be sanitized thoroughly after each use — making it well suited to professional kitchens where hygiene standards are strict, and equally practical for home cooks who want a mat they can actually clean properly.
The mat body is polypropylene threaded with nylon, giving it the flexibility to roll tightly while holding its shape over repeated use. The white surface makes residue visible at a glance, so cleanliness is easy to assess between uses. Two sizes cover the range of common applications — S (165 × 250 mm) for standard maki and smaller preparations, L (305 × 250 mm) for larger rolls or higher-volume work. No soaking, no drying rack, and none of the upkeep that a bamboo mat requires.
Hasegawa is a Japanese manufacturer known for food-safe synthetic kitchen products, including cutting boards and prep tools that are standard in professional kitchens across Japan. Their products are built around hygiene, durability, and ease of maintenance in demanding kitchen environments.
