tuna nigiri
Maguro over rice
Tuna nigiri is a Japanese sushi preparation consisting of a slice of raw tuna draped over a small mound of seasoned rice.
The fish—typically bluefin, yellowfin, or bigeye tuna—is prized for its buttery texture and clean flavor.
Nigiri means "grip" or "grasp," referring to how the rice is hand-pressed into shape: We ordered salmon rolls and tuna nigiri.
