To serve, each bowl is prepared individually as follows: Place half a single serving of cooked rice into the bowl, then cover with nori. Add the other half of the rice serving over the nori. Continue to layer in this order: drizzle a spoonful of tomato soy sauce over the rice, leaving a little aside for garnish. Cover this with one portion of eggs, one portion of seasoned spinach, and finally four pieces of the grilled salmon. Lightly drizzle a little tomato soy sauce over the salmon. Top with namasu and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
- *1Even the stems of Japanese spinach are eaten because they are particularly tender.
