How to eat Sashimi?

Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy, which is basically nothing more than very fresh and very raw fish. The fish is sliced to thin pieces and served with all the Japanese goodies such as soy sauce, ginger and wasabi.

Sashimi stands for “pierced meat” or “pierced body” and in a Japanese restaurant you’ll find it as an appetizer or a main dish.

There are two ways to eat sashimi. One method claims that you should pour a little bit of soy sauce into the small sauce dish, mix in wasabi and dip the fish in the sauce. Others say that you should take a small amount of wasabi and put it on the fish. Than dip the sashimi in the soy platter and eat the piece in one bite, enjoying the mixture of the three flavors. It’s important to apply only a small amount of soy and wasabi – you still want to taste the fish, don’t you?

You say Sushi, I say Sashimi

So you decided to give sushi a try. You walk in a sushi place. You sit down. Look at the menu and it might as well be written in Japanese because you don’t know your sushi from your sashimi. Don’t feel bad. I love sushi, and I wasn’t better than you. And even though I eat sushi every other day, I still don’t know to read half of the menu.

It’s always nice to start a meal with hot Miso soup. It is a traditional Japanese soup, very simple and basic, just like your grandma’s chicken soup. Try and order a refreshing seaweed salad. It might not sound so attractive, but it’s really good. The crunchy watery seaweed is a fun appetizer that you’ll surely order again next time.

Now there’s sushi and sashimi and rolls and hand rolls – but there is no need to panic! Sushi is a fish, usually raw, served with, on top, under or inside special sushi rice. Sashimi is a fish, raw, and that’s about it. Now what’s the point of having sashimi? Well, if the fish is fresh, then sashimi can be quite a treat. The small, bite size sushi is called Maki, or a sushi roll. It is made out of rice, seaweed, vegetables and fish and can also come in the shape of Temaki sushi, hand roll, which comes in the shape of a large cone.
