Short description: This seafood rice bowl arranges sashimi-style toppings over rice for a direct, colorful meal.
Ingredients: Rice topped with raw fish, shellfish, soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger, shiso, and nori.
Cultural note: It belongs to the donburi family: toppings are arranged over rice rather than formed into individual pieces.
Common misconception: It is not identical to scattered sushi in every setting; some versions use plain rice rather than vinegared sushi rice.
