Prepare sushi rice by rinsing until water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.

Season cooked rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, mixing gently until combined.

Allow sushi rice to cool to room temperature, covering with a damp cloth to prevent drying.

Slice fresh fish into thin pieces suitable for topping nigiri.

Wet hands with water to prevent sticking, then take a small amount of sushi rice and form into an oval shape.

Place a slice of fish on top of the rice, gently pressing to adhere.

Optionally, add a small amount of wasabi between the rice and fish.

Repeat the process for remaining rice and fish slices.

Serve nigiri sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and additional wasabi on the side.

Garnish with sesame seeds or yuzu zest for added flavor if desired.

Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
