Sardine Namero

Use sardines that have been opened by hand. If there are any tails left, discard them

Finely chop the Japanese ginger, green onions, and shiso leaves. (It's okay if they're a little coarse at this stage, as they'll be finely chopped later.)

Cut the sardines into bite-sized pieces, then chop them with a knife

Once the sardine pieces have broken down into smaller chunks, combine them with the vegetables from step [2] and chop them finely

Once everything is combined, add the miso and grated ginger and continue to pound the mixture

Knead the mixture until it becomes slightly sticky, then shape it and serve on a plate. (If you have any leftover condiments, you can put them on top for a nicer presentation.)
