握り寿司
握り寿司, or nigiri sushi, is a popular type of sushi that consists of a small mound of vinegared rice topped with a slice of raw or cooked fish, seafood, or other ingredients. The rice is typically shaped by hand, giving it a distinct oval form. This style of sushi emphasizes the quality and freshness of the toppings, which can include varieties like salmon, tuna, or shrimp.
Traditionally,握り寿司 is served with a small amount of wasabi and can be accompanied by soy sauce for dipping. It is often enjoyed in sushi restaurants and is a staple in Japanese cuisine, reflecting the artistry and skill involved in its preparation.
