- 1/4 cup Niigata sake
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Assorted sushi-grade fish (e.g., tuna, salmon, yellowtail)

Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, Niigata sake, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or glass bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar mixture, using a cutting motion to mix, until the rice is seasoned and sticky.
- Prepare the sushi by laying a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Arrange the sliced fish on top of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, then slice into individual pieces.
- Serve the sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
