Rinse the short-grain sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with the water and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Fold the rice vinegar, granulated sugar and salt into the hot rice.
Slice the sea bream diagonally into very thin pieces with a very sharp knife.
Wet your hands with vinegared water and shape the rice into small ovals.
Spread wasabi on each rice bite and place a sea bream slice on top.
Serve tai nigiri with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Slicing the sea bream across the grain gives a tender texture on top of the nigiri.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with a little wasabi, soy sauce and fine lemon zest.
