SASHIMI
Sashimi is raw, chilled, sliced, and
elegantly arranged fish. Sashimi may be garnished with
raw vegetables, leaves of knotgrass, parsley, lettuce,
shredded daikon, and sometimes Seaweed or cucumber. Sashimi
is odourless and very delicate. When sliced thick it is
served with soy sauce, when sliced thin served with ponzu,
a citrus flavoured sauce. Wasabi, red pepper, and green
onions may be served to mix with sauces as well.
The beauty of the sashimi is that it lacks both the fishy smell
and taste that would be its undoing. |
MAKI SUSHI
Maki sushi contains strips of fish
or vegetables rolled in rice and wrapped in crisp, thin
sheets of dried seaweed. There are many combinations that
even the most timid can enjoy- smoked salmon, fresh crab,
or shrimp. The adventurous can sample delicacies like
octopus, raw clams, sea urchin, or salted fish roe. |

NIGIRI SUSHI
Nigiri sushi is a slice of fish (cooked or uncooked) pressed
by hand onto a pad of rice. Fish roe is also served as nigiri
Sushi in a style called gunkan, meaning "boat".
Nigiri sushi contains a hint of horseradish and is meant
to be dipped in soy sauce, but only the fish not the rice.
They are usually served in pairs. |
