Sushi's origins lie in preserving fish using fermented rice, a practice that traveled from Southeast Asia to China and eventually to Japan. Over centuries, it evolved from a preservation method to a cuisine, with the introduction of vinegared rice and the emphasis on fresh, raw fish. Sashimi's history is intertwined, focusing on the art of slicing and presenting raw fish.
Sushi and sashimi are deeply intertwined with Japanese culture, embodying concepts of freshness, simplicity, and respect for ingredients. The chef's selection, 'Combinado do Chef,' highlights trust in the chef's expertise and appreciation for seasonal offerings.
Omakase
'Omakase' means 'I'll leave it to you' and signifies complete trust in the chef's judgment. The 'Combinado do Chef' aligns with this concept, allowing the chef to showcase their skills and the best available ingredients.
Seasonality
Japanese cuisine strongly emphasizes seasonality (shun). The chef will choose ingredients that are at their peak flavor and quality during the current season.
Presentation
The presentation of sushi and sashimi is as important as the taste. The arrangement is carefully considered, reflecting balance, harmony, and respect for the ingredients.
The dish is a symphony of oceanic freshness, umami, and subtle sweetness, balanced with the acidity of vinegared rice and the pungency of wasabi.
The flavors depend heavily on the fish selection. Tuna offers a rich, almost meaty taste, while salmon provides a buttery smoothness. White fish like sea bream offer a delicate sweetness. Sea urchin (uni) provides a creamy, briny flavor. The vinegared rice offers a foundational tang, and the wasabi provides a sharp, cleansing heat. Soy sauce adds saltiness and umami. Ginger cleanses the palate between bites.
Eating Order
Generally, it's recommended to eat the sushi and sashimi in order of mildest flavor to strongest. Start with white fish, then move to silver-skinned fish, followed by tuna, and finish with richer options like sea urchin or eel.
Soy Sauce Usage
Dip the fish side of the sushi or sashimi lightly into the soy sauce. Avoid soaking the rice, as it can overwhelm the flavors. For nigiri, turning it upside down to dip the fish is considered proper.
Wasabi Etiquette
Use wasabi sparingly. It's meant to enhance, not overpower, the flavor of the fish. Some sushi already contains wasabi; adding more may be considered impolite.
Ginger as Palate Cleanser
Ginger is used to cleanse the palate between different types of sushi and sashimi. It's not meant to be eaten on top of the fish.
