Default Nori too dry

OK. Well the fact is that Nori being "too dry" is actually an indicator of
freshness.
Nori being "too moist" is an indicator of it being old and well past its
prime.
The one thing you can not do is to "moisten" the Nori with water. That will
ruin it.
The best approach is probably to allow the moisture from the sushi rice to
permeate
the Nori, fpr example, if you're making a maki let the Nori sit with the
spread sushi meshi
a bit before you try to roll it. Sorry I couldn't find a better solution.
