Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear, then drain for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice with the measured water and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Dissolve the rice vinegar, sugar and salt, fold into the hot rice, and fan to room temperature.
Slice the sashimi-grade kohada thinly on the diagonal with a sharp knife.
Lightly wet your hands, shape the rice into 12 oval bites and spread each with a little wasabi.
Place the kohada slices on the rice, press gently, and serve with soy sauce and gari.
💡 Tip: Dry the kohada slices just before placing them on the rice so the vinegar balance tastes cleaner.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small portions with a little wasabi, soy sauce and gari.
