Cut the unagi into 8 pieces, spread a little wasabi on the underside of each piece and place it upside down in your hand. Place one rice ball on the wasabi-coated side of the eel, press lightly while using the tip of your left thumb to keep its shape. Flip the nigiri sushi and reshape with two fingers if necessary. Repeat for the remaining unagi nigiri.
