Combine all but rice in small bowl and pour one half cup of water over the top. Stir to create seasoning.
Place rice into large bowl and fill with water. Agitate rice then strain and wash again. Continue until all starch has been removed. The water will be clear once this happens.

Place cream cheese, EVOO, salt, pepper, shallot, and vinegar in the bowl of a stand mixer and process with the paddle attachment until well combined.
Remove from mixer and chill for 2 hours. Combine herbs on the work surface. Using your hands, grab a small amount of cheese and roll to a 1/4 inch tube. Roll the tube in chopped herbs then lay it on a parchment-lined sheet. Chill until ready to use.
Combine all ingredients. Chill until ready to use.
Place bamboo mat on work surface then place one seaweed sheet, shiny side down on bamboo mat. The roll will be against the grain so orient the sheet on the bamboo to reflect. Cut off one third of the sheet.
Place some rice on the seaweed and using wet hands, spread to edges leaving some of the seaweed exposed, dipping hands into more water as needed.
Leaving some rice exposed, place the cucumber along the bottom, then some fish then a roll of Herbed Cream Cheese. Roll to meet the exposed rice and round and tighten in the bamboo.
To serve, use a sharp, cold, clean knife to cut into 1 inch slices, arrange on service plate and serve with wasabi, pickled ginger and Scallion Soy Dipping Sauce
