Sashimi and sushi

Went to a Japanese restaurant with Franz and Marcus (Andreas' visitor) this evening for the sashimi (sliced raw fish) and sushi. We reserved the seats in front of the bar, where no menu was offered and needed. Only thing we did was telling the chef our preference to either sashimi or sushi or both.

Accordingly, the chef choosed what fish/seafood he had today and arranged the sashimi/sushi for us. We thus chatted while enjoying to see how the chef prepared the food. We had several nice surprises when the dish was served. I have been to this restaurant serveral times and still got surprises everytime! This time was the white flower sushi roll. The white flower was in fact shaped by a slice of squid with one side cut like a flower, quite cute...

My favorite food there is the perilla seasoned apple sushi roll. It looked like Tekkamaki (raw tuna roll) and the texture tasted like tuna at the first bite. Then a bit sour of perilla smell bursts into your nose... very very tasty....

huh... was trying to note the "puppy theory" suggested by a friend, which said to help people get their low mood away... yet, why turning to sashimi and sushi now? okay, next time then...


p.s. This site lists many sushi terminology in English...
