Nigiri Sushi
Nigiri sushi represents the heart of what we do at Zuko Sushi Bar in San Jose, CA. Each piece is hand-crafted with precision - combining pristine fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and the skill that defines our sushi restaurant. When you're looking for authentic nigiri sushi in the San Jose area, we bring traditional technique and fresh ingredients to every plate.
- Hand-selected fish arrives daily and sits atop vinegared rice prepared to exact temperature and seasoning standards.
- Each nigiri piece is sized and shaped by hand, not pressed or cut, for the authentic texture our sushi bar is known for.
- We balance nigiri with sushi rolls and sashimi on the same menu, letting you build a complete tasting experience.
- Nigiri lets the quality of the fish speak - no heavy sauces or fillings to hide behind, just pure flavor and simplicity.
- Our sushi chefs understand how nigiri differs from sushi rolls, and respect that distinction in every order.
- Rice temperature, fish freshness, and hand-forming technique all matter equally to us on every piece.

“Great service, fresh sushi and delicious flavors. We had a table of 12 and got to try many of Zuko's dishes. My favorite was the uni shooters and chawanmushi. Flavors were well balanced, and the ingredients were fresh.”
