Nigiri — hand-formed rice topped with a slice of fish — is the test of any sushi kitchen: there is nothing to hide behind. We serve salmon, bluefin tuna, hamachi, sea bream, grilled unagi eel with kabayaki sauce and beef gyu tataki, among others.
You order by the piece, so it is easy to build your own tasting: two of your favourites or one of each. Nigiri likes the company of sashimi and rolls on a shared table — and a cocktail from the bar in the evening. The menu below shows current items; book a table at Stępkarska 7 in Gdańsk online.

By the piece — the menu price is for a single piece. It is a convenient way to try several fish without ordering full portions; there is also a ready-made NIGIRI SET in the sets menu.
Salmon (sake) is the gentle classic. A step further — buttery hamachi and grilled unagi with sweet kabayaki; connoisseurs go for bluefin tuna.
Either — in Japan both are perfectly fine. Good practice: dip it fish-side into the soy sauce, not rice-side, so the piece holds together.
