Ingredients
- 9 oz sashimi-grade albacore tuna
- 2 servings cooked Japanese short-grain rice ((typically 1⅔ cups (250 g) per donburi serving))
- 4 Tbsp shredded nori seaweed
- 1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
- 1 g reen onion/scallion
- 3 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba)

- ½ tsp wasabi ((optional))
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin
- 1 Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Steps
-
Before You Start: Gather all the ingredients. For the steamed rice, please note that 1½ cups (300 g, 2 rice cooker cups) of uncooked Japanese short-grain rice yield 4⅓ cups (660 g) of cooked rice, enough for 2 donburi servings (3⅓ cups, 500 g). See how to cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot over the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
-
To make the sauce, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer the sauce into a small bowl, set on ice over a larger bowl.
-
Slice the albacore tuna into about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick slices and marinate in the sauce for 10 minutes.
-
Cut the scallion into fine slices. Roll up the shiso leaves together and slice thinly.
-
Put steamed rice in bowls and let cool a little. Sprinkle the shredded nori and sesame seeds. Place the marinated albacore tuna on top.
-
Grate the ginger. Garnish the sashimi with scallion, shiso leaves, ginger, and wasabi on top.
-
You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for a day.
