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?

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.

Hey, what’s the leaf? Do you eat it?
stonemilker@discuss.tchncs.de · 6 pts · 3y
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.

Otaru is a beautiful town! Passed through regularly this year on our way to/from Sapporo. Would love to an extended time there.
