BC roll · Vancouver
The BC roll is an inside-out sushi roll filled with grilled BC salmon skin, cucumber and sweet sauce, rolled with the rice on the outside. It is one of Vancouver's two Tojo-invented rolls, along with the California roll.
The BC roll was invented by chef Hidekazu Tojo at Tojo's Restaurant in Vancouver in 1974, alongside the California roll. Tojo developed the inside-out roll format, hiding the seaweed wrap, to make sushi approachable for Western diners who found nori off-putting. The BC roll uses grilled salmon skin with cucumber and a sweet sauce, a tribute to the Pacific salmon that defined British Columbia's food identity.
