    Save some money by not buying the wasabi powder at the oriental market. Real wasabi powder isn't exported or exported anymore. What we get in the tins is dark hot mustard. Cheaper in the spice section.

    Looks great! The Nigri is one of my favorites. They have one at my favorite Chinese restaurant called "Shaggy Dog" roll. It has a "mane" made of imitation crab sliced in to fine ribbons on top, with yum yum sauce over that.

    I learned to make it last deployment to Japan. Making the rice correctly is the hardest part and most time consuming. Good thing is that you can make a few rolls and slice them up. Wrap them in suran wrap tightly and the last a couple days. Makes great heavy lunches. I use just plain old long grain rice. Rinse till the water runs clean. Then use a cheap rice cooker. As soon as its done, add some suger and a splash of rice vinegar. Then dump into a non metal container (it will give the rice an off taste if it cools in metal). Then its like making a burrito with the bamboo mat.

    If you coat your knife in rice vinegar it will help you cut it better by preventing the rice from sticking to the knife. Also use vinegar as a great tool to clean your rice cooker. It dissolves the carbohydrates that will turn to concreate (figuratively). Rice vinegar is the preferred method because it is the weakest on the acid scale and not give you any odd or funny taste. Regular white vinegar will work to clean up.

    What are you using as sashimi? In the pic it just looks like imitation crab. [I'm old (ish) and my eyes are not the strongest]. I like a tuna steak or salmon. But it has to be FRESH. Can't be caught last week. Haven't made any in months. You're giving me the itch. Be careful about getting good at it. All sushi restaurants will soon be a disappointment.

    Stuff I get is mostly horseradish with just enough wasabi to put the word on the label.

    Thought real Wasabi was just about extinct and/or that rare. Thought all the green stuff we buy is just horseradish dyed green.

    I've made it twice myself. I use sushi rice and try to cool it properly, though mine is still too sticky I think.
    Last time we bought an entire 10lb albacore tuna at the market, but it was too fishy for proper sushi I think. Should have just gotten salmon!
    Here is a picture to share. Made small rolls, nigiri and some sungunmaki. Prep takes forever, and my 9yo son hogs it down in minutes. I have to move fast to get any!

    Odd you said raw, it’s always been broiled when I have it. With unagi sauce. It is delish and my favorite.

    I like raw tuna sashimi. Heck I even like mackerel. Mackerel is fishy though.

    Op I think you did fine for a first try.

    Wrapping a roll tight takes practice. My other cheat is to take single rice grains and mash them on the end of the wrapper for a glue point. Three or four per roll does it.

    A keep a wet paper towel to wipe the knife clean after every cut. Also when cutting I lightly press the parts away from the knife to not drag the knife as much on the rice filling. It cuts down on the knife issues.

    Keep it up. It’ll get easier and better.
