Can california rolls be kept out of the fridge?

Question

My boyfriend and I bought a large platter of sushi rolls that includes veggie rolls, California rolls, dynamite rolls, and cucumber rolls. He claims that the rolls can be kept in their container on the counter for a day without going bad. He believes that refrigerating them makes them unappetizing, and I somewhat agree. However, I'm concerned about the California roll, which contains imitation crab mixed with mayo. My boyfriend, being a sushi enthusiast from Korea, thinks he knows best. What are your thoughts on this? By the way, none of the rolls contain raw fish, as he has already eaten those.

I wouldn't advise doing that. There are two reasons why: 1) the rice gets hard when left out for a long time (it would also get hard in a refrigerator if you leave it uncovered,) 2) the mayonnaise would spoil if left out for too long and you would risk getting food poisoning from eating it. if you really don't want it to be left in a fridge overnight because you don't like the taste, i'd suggest setting the temperature of your refrigerator a little bit higher so that the sushi is still kept cold, but that way it won't spoil.
(p.s. my girlfriend is a sushi chef as a career so this is what her suggestion would be.)

Leaving rice out with any protein at room temp is a good recipe for Bacillus Cereus, which is an acute form of food poisoning which can be in the form of vomiting or very intense diarhea.  I think four hours would be the maximum before you start to take risk with it.  Rice in itself will not make the bacteria- it needs to have protein to activate it.

em' if you brought those sushi rolls from a shop, than obviously they were refrigerated.

Once the sushi is refrigerated, than u must keep it in the fridge if u wanna keep it over night.

also, mayo sauce definitely cant be eaten and kept over night because mayo itself needs to be refrigerated after opening.

its best to keep it all in the fridge, and i know it wont turn out as nice as if it is not refrigerated, but at least it would safe u from getting sick:)

You should refrigerate. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Anything that has mayo should be refrigerated because you run the risk of food poisoning.
