Rinse the short-grain sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with water and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Fold the rice vinegar, granulated sugar and salt into the hot rice with cutting motions.
Slice the turbot fin meat diagonally and thinly with a sharp knife.
Wet your hands with vinegared water and shape the rice into oval bites.
Spread a little wasabi on each rice piece and place the fish slice on top.
Serve the fin meat nigiri with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Cutting engawa across the grain leaves a tender, glossy surface on the nigiri.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small portions with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
