Sushi Night

[S-met]

The last meal in my kitchen before redecorating for Christmas dinner. Wife loves all the fancy setup and decor, but I'm happy with the simple and understated setup. I like letting my food be the decor. Bright colors and the attractive display of our sushi party (2 guests, wife and I). Overkill, nah, we enjoy every minute! What's life if you don't live it.

Kuramoto oysters on the half, wasabi greens and unfiltered sake as an appetizer.

Assorted rolls
Sashimi: ono, bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, king salmon
Squid salad, octopus salad, seaweed salad and picked ginger.
Miso soup
Pepperfin with albacore and ono
Not pictured, spicy tuna though it is in some of the rolls.
Dessert, mango mochi (purchased)

Good lord! That is one fine looking meal! Your presentation is beautiful. Makes me want to get some sushi on the way home.

 

[Steve H]

What Saki was that?

 

[jcam222]

Man that is a beautiful layout of elegant good. BIG LIKE!! love the plates too.

 

[S-met]

What Saki was that?

I forget the specific name, but it was one of the Aladdin unfiltered sake. I hadn't seen this one before. Something lightly lemony. I think it was under $14, maybe under 10?

That looks like. Perfection.

Like dark beer, warmed above refrigerator temp, lol.

That looks like. Perfection.

Thank you, it's close. My roll/rolling skills need a lot of improvement. Takes practice and I don't practice that often.

Wow does that look good!!! My daughter and her husband just took a tripe to Japan(supposedly to watch a couple rugby games) but the only photos we got were of food. 99.9% sushi.

Point for sure

I'm super drooling over those amazing ingredients you have access to!

 

[BuckeyeSteve]

Beautiful plates! Did you pickle your own ginger?

 

[noboundaries]

Absolutely scrumptious, S-met. That mouthwatering layout brings back wonderful memories of a former SMF member.

Oh, my.... This is one fantastic looking dish!!!! BIG like! I wish I had something like that but unfortunately there is no way I can get any really fresh fish in my area...

 

[chef jimmyj]

Wow! Really nice. Slices of Sashimi look perfect. Why didn't you show the centers of at least half of each roll. I bet they are pretty too...JJ

No. Its so cheap and available at local shops. Same for the octopus, squid and seaweed salads.

Frozen actually works better and is usually more "fresh." Easier to slice thinly too.

Great idea, maybe next time. But they probably look better whole. My rolling skills are lacking.

Wow!
What a delicious looking meal!
I sure wish I had access to sushi grade fish like that!
Very nicely done!

Unbelievable spread there, that’s impressively executed and I’ll bet the cost of that was nothing to scoff at. If someone invited me to dinner and laid that out in front of me I’d be speechless.

Did you make the salads and cut radish etc. or buy some of that stuff pre made?

 

[uncle eddie]

Said in Homer Simpson voice: mmmmmmm-Suuuuushiiiiiii
LIKE!

Cost was nothing to scoff at for sure. But sometimes you just need splurge.

Squid, octopus, seaweed and pickled ginger was pre-made. There are several great Asian markets about 45 min from me. Oto's market in particular has a great fish counter. They checked each oyster before bagging for sale.

We shredded the daikon ourselves, used one of the wavy y-peeler (https://www.templeofthai.com/cookware/cutters-peelers-graters/papaya-salad-peeler-kiwi)
