The four dishes above boast wrappers that are edible: At top left is fukusa-zushi, so named because the thin omelet wrapped around sushi rice resembles the silk cloth fukusa 帛紗 (ふくさ) used in the tea ceremony. Top right is inari-zushi, sweetly soy-simmered pouches of fried tōfu stuffed with tart sushi rice. Inari shrines are dedicated to rice cultivation, hence the name. In the Kanto area (Tokyo and environs) cylindrical shaped inari-zushi are the norm. The shape is called tawara because it resembles sheaves of freshly harvested rice that have been bundled in rice straw. In the Kansai area (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe) however, inari-zushi  are typically triangular-shaped. Triangles suggest fox ears and there is a strong association of fried tofu with fox legends.

On the bottom, left are haru maki spring rolls stuffed with shreds of meat and vegetables. At the far right on the bottom are yaki gyoza, pan-fried dumplings. Wrappers are of various textures, from soft and chewy fried tofu, to crisp, crunchy spring rolls. All of these morsels can be consumed whole.
