Yotsuia Sushi
Sushi's origins can be traced back to Southeast Asia, where fish was preserved in fermented rice. This preservation method travelled to Japan, where it evolved over centuries. Edomae sushi, the style most familiar today (using fresh fish), became popular in the Edo period (1603-1868) in what is now Tokyo. Sashimi has a long history as well, focused on the appreciation of fresh, high-quality fish.
Sushi and sashimi are deeply intertwined with Japanese culture, representing artistry, respect for ingredients, and a celebration of freshness and seasonality.
Omakase
Ordering 'omakase' (chef's choice) is a sign of trust and allows the chef to showcase the best and freshest ingredients available.
Presentation
The aesthetic presentation of sushi and sashimi is crucial, with meticulous attention paid to color, texture, and arrangement.
Respect for Ingredients
Japanese cuisine emphasizes respecting the natural flavors of ingredients, with minimal interference.
Combinado Yotsuia presents a diverse range of flavors, balancing the delicate taste of raw fish with the savory notes of seasoned rice, umami from seaweed, and hints of wasabi and soy sauce.
The flavor profile is complex. Salmon provides a rich, fatty taste. Tuna offers a meaty and slightly metallic flavor. White fish varies depending on the specific type, but generally contributes a mild and clean taste. Shrimp can be sweet and slightly briny. The sushi rice is seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt, providing a slightly sweet and tangy base. Wasabi delivers a pungent kick, while soy sauce adds saltiness and umami.
Soy Sauce Usage
Avoid saturating the rice in soy sauce; instead, lightly dip the fish side of the sushi. Too much soy sauce overwhelms the delicate flavors.
Wasabi Etiquette
Use wasabi sparingly. It's meant to enhance, not overpower, the flavor of the fish. Some sushi chefs already include wasabi in the sushi, so taste before adding more.
Order of Consumption
It's generally recommended to start with the milder-flavored fish (like white fish) and gradually move towards the stronger flavors (like tuna and salmon).
