ABOUT THE RECIPE

Nigiri sushi offers a satisfying dish that combines expertly sliced fresh fish with perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The delicate fish rests atop the rice, allowing the flavors to meld together in a harmonious balance. The subtle sweetness of the rice complements the rich, umami notes of the fish, creating a delightful contrast in each bite. This classic Japanese combination delivers a refined and flavorful experience.
