AJİ NİGİRİ (JAPAN)
Aji nigiri is a traditional Japanese type of nigiri sushi.
It consists of hand-pressed sushi rice topped with slices of aji or horse
mackerel. Aji or horse mackerel is smaller than other mackerel and has a milder
flavor. This marinade goes well with ginger (gari), scallions (negi), and
mirin.
It is usually marinated in vinegar to remove excess oil and
the texture becomes smoother. Before serving, this nigiri sushi is usually
topped with negi and is usually consumed with a single bite (or two).
