Rinse the sushi rice 5 or 6 times, until the water runs clear.
Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, then cook.
Heat the rice vinegar, sugar and salt until dissolved.
Add the vinegar mixture to the hot rice, fold with cutting motions and cool until warm.
Cut the nori sheets into 3 cm strips.
Shape the rice into 16 small ovals and wrap with nori.
Top with tobiko and sesame seeds.
Serve with wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Shaping the rice without crushing it keeps the gunkan pleasantly grainy in the mouth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on small plates with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
