The Taste of Japan • 日本の味
Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish centered around vinegared rice, known as shari, usually topped or filled with a variety of ingredients like raw fish, seafood, and vegetables. While often associated with raw fish, the term actually refers to the specific preparation of the rice itself. It is commonly served with wasabi, pickled ginger (gari), and soy sauce to enhance its delicate flavors. Modern variations range from traditional nigiri and sashimi to contemporary fusion rolls wrapped in dried seaweed (nori).

Sashimi is a refined Japanese delicacy consisting of fresh, raw seafood sliced into thin, bite-sized pieces. Unlike sushi, it is served without rice, allowing the natural flavor and texture of the fish—such as tuna, salmon, or yellowtail—to be the focal point. It is traditionally accompanied by garnishes like shredded daikon radish, shiso leaves, and a small amount of wasabi. To enjoy it properly, diners typically dip each piece lightly into soy sauce to enhance the clean, savory profile of the fish.
