And I have to be frank, the taste of tuna is what brings me back to Japan over and over again. I just really really like it and can’t find this same quality tuna anywhere else I tried it.
This looks like I’d get charged 60 bucks for it in America…
Which is to say, holy shit that looks fucking amazing
Goddamn I’ve never seen tuna sashimi look that good.
I’m personally more of a salmon sashimi guy, though.
Also guessing that’s real wasabi in the middle?
That color is amazing.
Simple. Best. Jealous
Hey, what’s the leaf? Do you eat it?
I think it was sesame leaf, and at least in Korea we eat them very often, especially during Korean BBQ.
Definitely shiso! Very common w/ sushi. We grow shiso leaf at home in our garden.
Oh cool, thanks! How is it eaten exactly? Do you use it like a tortilla to roll up around other bits, or nibble it in between bites of fish, as a palate cleanser, or to add flavor? Also, what flavor is it? So many questions lol
