Japanese cuisine is famed for its delicate components and subtleness portrayed in the way dishes are served, unique ingredient combinations, and the mastery of the blades. For decades and even centuries, Japanese dishes are intricately prepared, using available resources like seafood and veggies, but were preserved in various traditional ways to keep food edible for longer periods of time.
As time goes by, preserving fish through marination and the use of salt in the process have introduced the world to a wonderful, truly unique dish – sashimi. Sashimi is a dish which consists of raw fish fillet and sliced into beautiful pieces, placed on a Japanese traditional plate, showcasing the abundance of the resources fresh from sea. Often served without rice, sashimi comes plainly, yet is loved by diners from all parts of the world. Sushi, on the other hand, is a dish which consists of raw fish, seafood, or poultry toppings placed on beautifully formed, cooked Japanese rice mixed with vinegar, sugar, and salt. These two Japanese delicacies were introduced to the culinary industry since the 1700-1800s and have transformed into modern-day famous dishes loved by gourmets worldwide.
