Instructions
-
SELECT AND PREPARE THE FISH
Choose the freshest, sushi-grade fish such as tuna, salmon or yellowtail. Rinse it under cold water and gently pat it dry with a clean paper towel. Place the fish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making slicing easier.
Tip: Always buy fish labeled as “sushi-grade” to ensure safety and freshness.
-
SLICE THE FISH PROPERLY
Using a very sharp knife, cut the fish into uniform, thin slices, about ¼ inch thick and 2 inches long. Slice against the grain for the best texture. Keep your knife strokes smooth and confident to prevent tearing the delicate flesh.
Tip: Wipe the knife with a damp towel between slices for clean, precise cuts.
-
ARRANGE THE SASHIMI ON A PLATE
Neatly place the sliced fish on a chilled serving plate, slightly overlapping the pieces for an elegant presentation. Garnish with shredded daikon radish and shiso leaves for authenticity.
Tip: Serve sashimi on a cold plate or over crushed ice to maintain freshness.
-
PREPARE DIPPING SAUCES AND CONDIMENTS
In small bowls, serve soy sauce for dipping, a small mound of freshly grated wasabi and pickled ginger on the side. Optionally, mix soy sauce with a little lemon juice or ponzu for extra flavor.
Tip: Wasabi should be mixed lightly into the soy sauce to avoid overpowering the delicate fish flavor.
-
SERVE
Sashimi is best enjoyed fresh. Use chopsticks to pick up a piece, dip it lightly in soy sauce and enjoy the pure taste of high-quality seafood. Eat slices in one bite for the best experience.
Tip: Pair sashimi with a light sake or green tea for a traditional dining experience.
