Chilling Time: Proper chilling is essential for clean slicing and maintaining roll shape.

Knife Technique: Use sawing motion with sharp knife and clean blade between each cut.

Strawberry Prep: Dice strawberries small enough to distribute evenly without creating bulky spots.

Presentation Speed: Assemble and serve quickly to maintain the best texture and appearance.
