Nigiri Sushi

April 20, 2008 Category: Definitions, Sushi Types

By: SushiMaker.org

Nigiri sushi is a bite-sized sushi that is served in pairs.  It does not include nori seaweed.  Usually, a piece of nigiri will include a ball or rice with a piece of fresh fish on top.

Traditionally, the presentation of nigiri should include as many colors as possible.

Here is a good video that shows how to make Nigiri Sushi:

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi#Nigiri-zushi):

Nigiri-zushi (握り寿司, lit. hand-formed sushi). This is the most typical form of sushi in restaurants[citation needed].

Maki, temaki, and nirgri sushi

It consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that is pressed between the palms of the hands, with a speck of wasabi and a slice of topping called neta draped over it. This is possibly bound with a thin band of nori, and is often served in pairs.
