The shari, or rice ball. It has to be good rice of the right kind; it needs cooked right; the balance of sweet, salt & sour is crucial; and it must be formed so as to remain somewhat loose, not packed and hard.

I think the best way to present sushi is by slicing it thinly. Arrangement counts as well plus the sidings should be with green stuff like seaweeds or something yellow/ orange. The fish should simply be FRESH. :biggrin:

IMHO, sushi is all about presentation. How many sushi and sashimi recipes have you seen?
