For the Wagyu Nigiri:

- Shape Rice: With wet fingers, mold a small amount of rice into an oblong shape.
- Assemble: Place a dab of wasabi (if using) on the rice. Lay a slice of Wagyu over the rice, draping it gently. If you'd like, sear the Wagyu lightly with a cooking torch for a different texture and flavor.

- Serve: With soy sauce for dipping.
