Tuna Sashimi with Pickled Korean Shiso in Spicy Soy Sauce

I marinated the tuna Sashimi (raw tuna) with Pickled Korean Shiso in Spicy Soy Sauce.
 
I thawed frozen tuna and cut it into small cubes, added chopped Korean Shiso pickled with spicy soy sauce and chopped red onion. It was a bit too salty, so I made some Sushi rice to roll up with seaweed (Nori).
