<h2>Step-by-Step Instructions</h2>
<ol style="line-height: 1.8; padding-left: 20px;">
<li>
<strong>Season & Cool the Sushi Rice:</strong><br>
Cook the Nishiki medium-grain rice according to package directions. While the steamed rice is still warm, transfer it to a wide wooden or glass bowl and gently fold in the Nishiki Sushi Seasoning using a slicing motion with a rice paddle. Let it cool naturally to room temperature (do not refrigerate, as chilling hardens sushi rice).
</li>
<li>
<strong>Whisk the Savory Sauce:</strong><br>
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Kikkoman soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar granules are completely dissolved. Set aside.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Build the Bowl:</strong><br>
Divide the seasoned room-temperature sushi rice evenly between two wide serving bowls. Artfully fan out the assorted sashimi slices over the surface of the rice. Place a generous mound of vibrant J-Basket Wakame Seaweed Salad alongside the fish.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Garnish & Serve:</strong><br>
Lightly spoon the soy-mirin marinade directly over the sashimi and seaweed. Finish with a scatter of toasted white sesame seeds and fresh sliced scallions. Serve immediately with a side of pickled pink ginger and prepared wasabi.
</li>

<h4 style="margin-top: 0; color: #9a3412;">Chef’s Rice Temperature Tip:</h4>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 14px; color: #7c2d12; line-height: 1.5;">
Never arrange fresh sashimi on hot, freshly cooked rice! The residual steam will partially cook the delicate fish and dull its silky texture. Fan the rice gently while seasoning so it reaches a gentle room temperature before plating.
