A rustic presentation of California sushi canapés, elegantly arranged on a wooden table. The bite-sized canapés feature small rounds of sushi rice topped with creamy avocado, imitation crab, and thinly sliced cucumber, garnished with sesame seeds and a drizzle of spicy mayo. Some are arranged neatly on a wooden serving board, while others are scattered with fresh ginger slices, wasabi, and soy sauce for dipping. Soft natural lighting enhances the fresh and inviting feel, with gentle shadows and a hint of rustic kitchen elements in the background.
