Making sushi is an art! It’s not a dish you can whip up easily–after all, making raw fish edible is not everyone’s cup of tea. A lot goes into the process of making it an absolute drool-worthy meal worthy of our taste buds. The soft and sticky texture of rice rolled into raw fish with nori tastes divine with just the right ingredients and preparation. Oh, and wasabi is a gateway to foodgasm!
