Wash the rice until clear and let it stand for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice with measured water and rest it covered for 10 minutes.
Add vinegar, sugar, and salt to the rice, then cool it lightly with a fan.
Cut the very cold mackerel into long, thin strips.
Spread rice thinly over the nori, leaving a border at the top edge.
Arrange fresh ginger, scallion, and mackerel strips in the center.
Close the maki roll, sprinkle with sesame, cut into 6 equal pieces, and serve.
💡 Tip: Thinly sliced mackerel keeps the ginger fresh and prevents the roll from tasting heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plain soy sauce and pickled ginger.
