  • Nori seaweed sheets — Toast the sheets lightly over a flame or in a dry skillet for a few seconds to enhance their flavor.
  • Sashimi-grade fish — Ensure the fish is fresh and of high quality to guarantee the best taste and texture.
  • Wasabi — Use a small amount of wasabi to add a subtle heat to the sushi rolls. Adjust the amount according to your preference.
  • Pickled ginger — Serve pickled ginger on the side to cleanse the palate between bites.
