Hatsuki
Sushi's origins lie in Southeast Asia, where fish was preserved in fermented rice. This technique traveled to Japan, and the rice was initially discarded. Over time, the rice began to be eaten with the fish, evolving into what we recognize as sushi today. Sashimi's history is intertwined, originating as a way to present exceptionally fresh fish.
Sushi and sashimi are deeply rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, representing respect for ingredients and artistry in presentation. It is often associated with celebrations and special occasions.
Presentation is key
The arrangement of sushi and sashimi is carefully considered, emphasizing visual appeal and reflecting the chef's artistry. Colors and textures are thoughtfully balanced.
Respect for the chef (Itamae)
Sushi chefs undergo years of training to master the art of selecting, preparing, and serving sushi. Diners often show respect for their skill and expertise.
Proper Etiquette
There are specific etiquette guidelines when eating sushi and sashimi. Using chopsticks correctly, avoiding mixing wasabi directly into the soy sauce, and eating the sushi in one or two bites are all considered important.
The primary flavors are fresh, clean, and umami-rich, complemented by subtle sweetness and savory notes. The dish emphasizes the natural taste of salmon.
The flavor profile is dominated by the rich, oily, and slightly sweet taste of fresh salmon. Sushi elements introduce vinegared rice with a balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Soy sauce adds saltiness and umami, while wasabi provides a pungent kick. Pickled ginger (gari) cleanses the palate between bites.
Start with the mildest fish
When eating an assorted platter, begin with the lighter, more delicate flavors and gradually move towards the richer and more intensely flavored pieces. This allows you to appreciate the nuances of each type of salmon.
Use soy sauce sparingly
Soy sauce should enhance, not overpower, the flavor of the fish. Dip only the fish portion of the sushi into the soy sauce, avoiding soaking the rice.
Use fresh wasabi
If possible, opt for freshly grated wasabi, as it offers a more complex and nuanced flavor compared to the powdered variety. Use it sparingly to avoid overwhelming the other flavors.
