Sushi and sashimi have a long history in Japan, evolving from methods of preserving fish to a refined culinary art form. Sushi, initially a means of preserving fish with fermented rice, gradually transformed over centuries. Sashimi, meaning 'pierced body,' has its roots in the preparation of fresh seafood. The 'Combinado Sensei' is a modern adaptation, offering a curated selection representing the breadth of sushi and sashimi styles.
The 'Combinado Sensei' reflects the Japanese culinary emphasis on freshness, seasonality, and artistic presentation. It embodies the concept of 'omakase' – leaving the selection to the chef.
Presentation
Visual appeal is paramount in Japanese cuisine. The arrangement of the sushi and sashimi is carefully considered, with attention paid to color, texture, and balance.
Respect for Ingredients
The dish highlights the quality and freshness of the seafood. Minimal manipulation is used to preserve the natural flavors.
Etiquette
There are specific customs surrounding the consumption of sushi and sashimi, such as using chopsticks correctly, dipping sparingly in soy sauce, and eating the ginger as a palate cleanser.
The 'Combinado Sensei' offers a diverse range of flavors from the ocean, balanced with rice, soy sauce, and wasabi.
The flavor profile is highly varied depending on the selection included in the 'Combinado Sensei.' Expect fresh, clean tastes from the sashimi, showcasing the natural flavors of the fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, etc.). The sushi components offer a balanced combination of subtly sweet sushi rice (seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt), umami-rich nori seaweed, and the specific toppings. Wasabi provides a pungent, spicy kick, while soy sauce adds salty and savory notes. Pickled ginger (gari) serves as a palate cleanser between different pieces.
Eating Order
Start with the milder-flavored fish and progress to the richer, fattier varieties to avoid overwhelming your palate.
Soy Sauce Usage
Avoid soaking the sushi rice in soy sauce, as it can overwhelm the delicate flavors. Dip only the fish portion.
Wasabi Application
Apply a small amount of wasabi to the fish, not directly to the soy sauce, for optimal flavor.
