- Season the cooked rice with the sushi vinegar mixture.
- Cut the fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, red shrimp) into small pieces to make a tartare.
- Cut the nori seaweed into strips: fold the sheet in half and cut.
- Wet your hands and shape rice into small boat-shaped balls (about 25-30 g each).
- Wrap each rice ball with a strip of nori, sealing the edge with a grain of rice.
- Place a small amount of wasabi inside each rice boat.
- Top each boat with the fish tartare and garnish with salmon roe.
