Zuke Tuna and Scallop Nigiri
Soy-cured tuna that tastes deeper after a ten minute rest. It is an elegant plate that needs only a little practice and very fresh fish.

This is the kind of plate you would be served at the counter, recreated step by step for home. Look for tuna with a clear, glassy red color and no rainbow sheen; a single even block is far easier to slice than trimmed pieces. Dry-packed scallops have no added water, so they sear and torch beautifully instead of steaming. A small dish of pickled ginger between bites keeps the palate fresh.
