Authentic Japanese sushi is very different. It is very simple in its expression and tastes different from what is served in Europe.
In Japan all types of fish are used for sushi which means that the menu card offers many different kind of fish.
The biggest difference between European and Japanese sushi is the techniques used to make sushi. In Japan it is normal to use techniques that take 20 years to master.
Below you will find a few sushi pictures from the 2 star Michelin restaurant Taku.

In Europe and especially Denmark the sushi roll Kaburimaki has become a popular dish. The reason for its popularity is because you can combine several different raw materials in different ways.
With a Kaburimaki roll you can highlight the flavors and flavors of raw materials in new ways.
I am very much fond of the roll in the simple way in which fish and vegetables play the lead role. They do because I use different cutting techniques to highlight their unique taste.

The Japanese do enjoy having lunch or dinner at one of Tokyo’s many restaurants.
Most restaurants in major cities have different lunch menus for about 60 DKK.
In their lunch break many Japanese do like to visit one of the many nearby coffee shop or restaurant and eat a quick lunch. A lunch menu often consists of two small dishes and a main course. Dishes do often contain fish, meat, rice, pickles or lettuce. It is also very popular to stop by one of the many noodle stands, the servers noodle soup in just 5 minutes.
For very little money you can get Japanese healthy and nutritious lunch.

The climate in Japan is very different than in Denmark. The humidity in Japan is high and that is an advantage for Japanese kitchen utensils. Many Japanese kitchen utensils are made of wood because wood has a positive effect on food.
Wood is an organic material and is influenced by the climate. The high air humidity in Japan has a positive effect on wooden tools in a way so they do not dry out quickly and thereby crack.
You can meet that by regularly moisture the kitchen utensils.

In June 2017, I visited the 2 star michelin sushi restaurant Taku.
The restaurant is located in a quiet side street of Tokyo’s exclusive Ginza shopping area.
It is a small restaurant that seats 8 dining guests. In the sushi bar, two sushi chefs makes sushi for different parties work as sushi makers for the various companies.
I am used to eat authentic Japanese sushi, which is why I let one of the sushi chefs decide the menu. He made a fantastic dinner that featured different starters. It was really delicious and tasty sushi and a tasty dessert. Below you will find pictures from the dinner. _
A Japanese sandstone is a must if you have Japanese knives made in Japan. This is one is purchased in the Korean town of LA. The best way to store at sandstone is to keep it in water.
