Named after Chungmu, the old name of the port city now called Tongyeong. The roll is rice and seaweed and nothing else, cut about as thick as a finger. Seasoned squid and radish kimchi come alongside in a separate bowl.
Take the fillings out of the roll and the roll keeps longer in the heat. That is the usual explanation, and it is the kind of explanation that sounds like a fisherman’s answer, which is where it comes from.
