Salmon Belly Nigiri

What this is

Salmon Belly Nigiri is a luxurious and melt-in-your-mouth sushi dish, featuring the rich and fatty cut of the salmon belly. Known for its buttery texture and deep flavour, salmon belly is the most prized part of the fish, offering a decadent sushi experience. Paired with perfectly seasoned sushi rice, this nigiri is a favourite for those who appreciate the finest quality in seafood.

How it is made

Our Salmon Belly Nigiri is made using the richest part of the salmon, carefully sliced to highlight its marbled texture and silky tenderness. The sushi rice is steamed to the ideal consistency and seasoned with a delicate blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to create a subtle balance of flavours. Each piece of nigiri is hand-formed, with the salmon belly gently placed atop the rice for the perfect bite. The natural richness of the salmon belly can be elevated with a light brush of soy sauce or a touch of wasabi, depending on your taste.

Where it is sourced

We source our salmon belly from sustainable fisheries in Australia and New Zealand, ensuring the highest quality and freshness. The fish is selected for its premium, sashimi-grade qualities, ensuring a smooth and flavourful experience. Our sushi rice is imported from Japan, ensuring an authentic texture and flavour that perfectly complements the rich, fatty salmon belly.

Flavour profile

Salmon Belly Nigiri offers a deep, buttery flavour with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that distinguishes it from other cuts of salmon. The rich fat content of the belly adds an indulgent creaminess, while the seasoned sushi rice provides a subtle tang that balances the fish’s natural sweetness. A hint of wasabi or soy sauce can enhance the umami flavours, creating a beautifully harmonious bite that sushi lovers will find irresistible.
