What is this piece of Nigiri? Second from the left on the top row.
Taken at a small restaurant in the greater Tokyo area. It looks almost like a large limpet without the shell. It has some very firm, crunchy parts akin to dense cartilage. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of mollusc.

A small abalone? Usually it’s bigger and sliced. Was it delicious?

looks like abalone, but generally, the knife work on the sushi looks highly unusual, the pieces are different size and appear to be of different thickness in places, so it is abalone, but that is normally not presented as it is presented in the photo, normally it’s sliced
