Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Sashimi Platter Andrew took me out for some Japanese today, I didn't feel like much so I had this Sashimi Platter (From: Sushi On The Run, Fortitude Valley) with Miso Soup. Not sure if I was allowed to take photos but stole one shot of my dish. (Some places are very particular about taking photos of their food here.) I loved the sashimi platter.  It contained: 刺身 Sashimi: 鮭 Sake (Salmon), いか Ika (Squid), えび Ebi (Cooked Shrimp), まぐろ Maguro (Tuna), たこ Tako (Octopus) & ほたて Hotate (Scallop) Others: Salmon Roe, Fresh Nori with Sesame Seeds, Shredded (Daikon, Carrot, Spring Onion.), Slices of Avocado & Lemon. "Sashimi (Japanese: 刺身) is a Japanese delicacy primarily consisting of very fresh raw seafoods, thinly sliced into pieces about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide by 4 cm (1½ inches) long by 0.5 cm (¼ inch) thick, and served with only a dipping sauce (like soy sauce with wasabi paste and thinly sliced ginger root, or ponzu), and a simple garnish like shiso and shredded daikon radish. The name sashimi literally means "pierced body." "刺身=sashimi" consists of "刺し=sashi(pierced/sticked)" and "身=mi(body/meat)". It may have come from the former practice of sticking the tail and its fin of the fish on the slices, to let it be known which fish one was eating. Another etymologic idea is that because 切り身=kiri-mi(cut body/meat) is reminiscent of cutting a person with 刀=katana(Backsword), the word sashimi was chosen intentionally instead." - Wikipedia With Love, Lin.
