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
$120 here in NYC
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?
I don’t know, I don’t like it so I never eat it. But it wasn’t a fancy sushi place just a tourist trap one, still very very tasty.
That color is amazing.
Simple. Best. Jealous

Hey, what’s the leaf? Do you eat it?
Looks like a shiso leaf, which you can eat and is usually served with sushi and sashimi, whenever I order from any sort of fancier place
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
Yes, can use it to wrap up pieces of sashimi. I like to include a small amount of rice and shoyu (soy sauce as well).
Flavor is quite strong and really tasty. Kind of hard to describe… Sort of like a combination of mint, basil, while also being a bit citrusy.
Thanks for the info! I’m excited to try it!
Otaru is a beautiful town! Passed through regularly this year on our way to/from Sapporo. Would love to an extended time there.
