1

Welcome to Japanese cooking 101, today we are making sashimi.

2

Make sure to get fresh sashimi grade fish from a trusted store; fresh sashimi is never fishy.

3

First, we are making shredded daikon radish called tuma. Peel the skin of the daikon and slice it very thinly.

4

Use a slicer to make it easy to slice the daikon.

5

Stack three to four layers of sliced daikon and cut very thinly.

6

Put the shredded daikon in a bowl of water and leave for 15 minutes to make it crispy.

7

Strain and remove moisture from the daikon.

8

Take a block of yellow tail and slice it into quarter to third inch thick pieces.

9

Slice the tuna in the same way as the yellow tail.

10

For salmon, slice it at a slight angle since the fillet is thinner than a block.

11

Make a pile of the shredded daikon on the side and place a couple of shiso leaves on the plate.

12

Arrange the sashimi pieces on the plate, considering different colors of fish: red tuna, orange salmon, and white yellow tail.

13

Add wasabi on the side and serve with a small plate of soy sauce for dipping.
