The difference

50 kcal

Sashimi is just the fish, so it is all protein and fat: 32 g of protein and no carbs. Maki is mostly rice, about 55 g of carbs, with a little fish in the middle.

Sashimi does have more fat, 13 g against 4, because salmon is an oily fish. Eight slices of fish also fill you up differently than eight rolls of rice.

Most people order a mix. A piece of nigiri is about 50 kcal. In Caltype just type "8 maki and 6 sashimi".
