The Japanese have developed a selection of knives that are only used for sushi. Only a few of this type of knives can be bought outside of Japan.
A few weeks ago there was woman who wrote to me and she was surprised that when she tried to make sashimi it tasted different.
The taste was not as good as when she bought sashimi from a sushi restaurant. She would also like to know which part of the salmon I use for sashimi.
I wrote to her that salmon is an easy fish use for sushi. You can use the whole fish.
I told her that the reason why the sashimi tastes different is that she does not know the techniques that are used to cut a fish for sashimi.
If you would like to serve sashimi with the same quality that it can be bought in a sushi restaurant you will have the same knive skills.
