Form the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and mold it into an oval shape. Place a slice of A5 Wagyu on top of the rice. Optionally, add a small dab of wasabi between the beef and rice.

Serve
Arrange the nigiri on a plate. Serve with soy sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish. Enjoy your A5 Wagyu nigiri!
