Sashimi

Thinly sliced, high-quality raw fish served without rice.

15 minutes
Serves 3
Appetizer/Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Ensure the fish is chilled thoroughly before cutting; pat it completely dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Using a mandoline or sharp knife, shred the daikon radish finely and soak in ice water for 5 minutes for crunch; drain well.

  3. 3

    Use a long, exceptionally sharp knife (like a yanagiba) to cut the fish against the grain into 1/4-inch thick rectangular slices in one smooth, pulling motion.

  4. 4

    Arrange the shredded daikon and shiso leaves beautifully on a chilled serving platter.

  5. 5

    Shingle the sliced fish neatly over the garnishes to highlight the texture and color.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately cold, with soy sauce and wasabi provided in small, separate dipping dishes.
