Soak the kazunoko in cold water for 1 hour to remove excess salt.
Rinse the rice and drain it well.
Cook the rice and let it rest under the lid.
Mix rice vinegar, sugar and salt into the hot rice.
Dry the kazunoko and cut it into diagonal pieces.
Shape oval rice pieces and add a little wasabi.
Place the kazunoko on top and serve with a small amount of soy sauce.
