Buri nigiri sushi
(Japanese Amberjack Nigiri Sushi, Yellowtail Tuna Nigiri Sushi)
Buri nigiri sushi is a traditional type of nigiri sushi. It consists of hand-pressed sushi rice that's topped with slices of Japanese amberjack, also known as yellowtail tuna. The dish has a soft texture and flavors that are not as deep as salmon nigiri sushi or tuna nigiri sushi.
The fish is sometimes seared with a blowtorch until lightly charred. Traditionally, this type of sushi is eaten by hand in a single bite. It's usually accompanied by soy sauce, wasabi, or pickled ginger (gari) on the side. The higher quality version of this dish is known as hamachi nigiri sushi, prepared with younger and smaller yellowtail tuna.
