Kanpyō(干瓢・かんぴょう), Kanpyo or kampyo are long, thick, dried, Calabash shavings. [[Calabash]], Langeraria sicearia var hispida, is a variety of bottle gourd native to tropical Africa but has gained immense popularity in Japanese cuisine probably because of its health benefits and unique taste.
Kanpyo has remained an important ingredient of the famous Japanese staple maki, sushi, chirashi and futomaki, a thick sushi roll from the Edo era.
Kanpyo is made by shaving and drying the skin of the evening face of the Cucurbitaceae, like peeling an apple. These shavings are then dried to lock the nutrients and later used to make sushi rolls.
