Temaki sushi is a form of sushi that is shaped into a cone.  The filling is placed inside the nori seaweed cone.  This type of sushi is eaten with your hand like a burrito.

This video does a good job of showing the preparation of temaki sushi:

Temaki sushi should be eaten soon after preparation because the nori seaweed can become too moist, thus making the sushi hard to eat.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi):

Temaki (手巻き, lit. hand rolls). A large cone-shaped piece of nori on the outside and the ingredients spilling out the wide end. A typical temaki is about ten centimeters (4 in) long, and is eaten with fingers because it is too awkward to pick it up with chopsticks. For optimal taste and texture, Temaki must be eaten quickly after being made because the nori cone soon absorbs moisture from the filling and loses its crispness and becomes somewhat difficult to bite.
