  • Cold Rice

    Cool seasoned rice to body temperature before forming — hot rice breaks nori and burns hands.

  • Sharp Knife

    Wet a sharp single-bevel knife between cuts — dull blades tear fish instead of slicing.

  • Parasite Risk

    Use sushi-grade fish frozen to FDA guidelines — never serve raw freshwater fish.

Safety Notes

  • Cone shape leaks if overfilled bottom.
  • Provide finger bowls for guests.
