Wash the short-grain rice until the water runs clear, then drain for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice with water and let it rest in the covered pot for 10 minutes.
Mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt into the hot rice without crushing the grains.
Place the buri fillet on the board, following the direction of the fibers.
Cut the fillet diagonally in one clean motion into 12 slices.
Gently press the rice bites and spread wasabi on each one.
Lay the buri on the rice and serve by touching the fish side to soy sauce.
💡 Tip: Keeping the buri slices colder than the rice helps their rich texture stay glossy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as one-bite nigiri with wasabi, pickled ginger, and light soy sauce.
