Nigiri Sushi Recipe
Nigiri Sushi Recipe.
What Is Nigiri Sushi?
Nigiri sushi is a type of sushi composed of sushi rice – rice mixed with vinegar, sugar, and salt – and typically seafood. Atop a bite-sized portion of sushi rice, a thin slice of (often raw) fish or other seafood is placed. The topping is frequently affixed with the help of a dab of wasabi or strip of nori (seaweed).
History of Nigiri Sushi
Nigiri sushi originated in the Kanto region in the early 1800s, where it was coined “Edomae sushi” – Edo is the former name of what is now known as Tokyo and “mae” means “in front of”. It is widely thought that the namesake alludes to the fact that the seafood used in the original nigiri sushi was harvested from the nearby waters of Tokyo Bay. Because refrigeration technology didn’t exist at the time Edomae sushi arrived on the scene, the fish and seafood were marinated and preserved with soy sauce, salt, and vinegar. This contrasts with the nigiri sushi popular today, which often features raw seafood.
When is Nigiri Sushi Eaten in Japan?
Expensive nigiri sushi is often eaten for special meals and celebrations in Japan, though more affordable options are available at convenience stores and supermarkets as a form of fast food. The quality of the ingredients influences the variation in price.
The etymology of Nigiri Sushi
Nigiri sushi is written in Japanese as 握り寿司. Nigiri (握り) refers to grasping, given that the rice of nigiri sushi is carefully formed using one’s hands and fingers.
#Comparing Nigiri Sushi With Other Types of Sushi
With all the different types of sushi, it can be confusing to sort out what’s what – especially when the terms are often used incorrectly. We hope we can reduce some of the confusion!
What’s the Difference Between Nigiri Sushi and Sashimi?
sashimi
Nigiri sushi refers to the type of sushi composed of fish and seafood, often raw, atop sushi rice.
Sashimi, a commonly misused word, is distinct from sushi in that it does not contain any rice. Sashimi instead is a dish in which the flavor of the raw ingredients is enjoyed. The food is cut into bite-sized pieces that are easy to season with soy sauce and eat. Oftentimes, sashimi refers to raw fish and seafood that is eaten without any rice accompanying it. More broadly, however, sashimi is a term applied to any dish in which the taste of the ingredient is enjoyed in of itself. This includes other kinds of raw meat and vegetables that are eaten alone to appreciate their freshness and flavor.

02:13 Making Nigiri-zushi
Nigiri-zushi is one of the most traditional and pure forms of sushi. And yes, you read it right! In this case, it’s technically pronounced zushi with a “Z” instead of sushi. Reason being the word “sushi” is used as a general term when the type of sushi is not specified.
But when there’s a prefix, or in other words when we talk about a particular style of sushi such as nigiri-zushi, temaki-zushi, or chirashi-zushi, we change the S to a Z. Anyways, a little Japanese language lesson for you.
When nigiri-zushi is done well, each piece has a perfect balance between the vinegared rice and neta (usually raw fish). This makes every bite an amazing and exciting adventure for your tastebuds.
In this video I go over step-by-step on how to make nigiri-zushi using one of the most common and traditional Japanese techniques called kote-gaeshi.
After you watch this video, you should have a good knowledge and understanding of each step that goes into making nigiri. With practice, you’ll be on your way to making authentic nigiri-zushi in no time!

???? About The Sushi Man:
Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.
