How to identify this dish

What it is

A classic nigiri made with tuna over pressed sushi rice, sometimes with a small amount of wasabi.

How to recognize it

The tuna is usually a smooth red slice placed directly over the rice, without the outer nori of a roll.

For beginners

Its clean, balanced flavor makes the format easy to understand, but the catalogue version uses raw tuna.
