In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar with wasabi paste to create a tangy wasabi-vinegar dipping sauce.

Step 5

Lay the seaweed sheet on a clean, dry surface. Use a sharp knife to slice it into thin strips for garnish.

Step 6

Arrange the eel slices neatly on a serving platter.

Step 7

Distribute the sliced cucumber around the eel slices for garnish and additional flavor.

Step 8

Drizzle the cooled soy-mirin sauce over the eel sashimi.

Garnish with freshly sliced ginger, scallions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
