About Tuna nigiri

Tuna Nigiri is a classic Japanese sushi dish consisting of a small oval-shaped bed of vinegar-seasoned rice topped with a slice of fresh, raw tuna. Known for its simplicity and elegance, it highlights the natural flavors of high-quality tuna, typically maguro or akami, which are prized for their rich taste and tender texture. Originating in Japan, nigiri sushi showcases a balance between protein and carbohydrates, making it a satisfying meal or snack. Tuna is a lean source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. It is also rich in essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and niacin. However, some types of tuna may contain higher levels of mercury, so moderation is key. The accompanying sushi rice has added sugar, contributing mildly to its calorie content. Tuna Nigiri combines simplicity with nutritional benefits, embodying the art of Japanese cuisine.
