Do Japanese sushi chefs use chili mayonnaise?

Zoë EscherIn Japan, I have never encountered chili mayonnaise.

In Japan sushi chef uses different raw materials on top on nigiri sushi like herbs, Japanese vegetables, egg, homemade soy sauce and marinade to give the whole dining experience an extra dimension.

In the US chili mayonnaise is used in very small quantities. The only fish that uses chili mayonnaise is tuna in which it is typically mixed in a tuna tartar.

In Denmark, there are many restaurants that uses chili mayonnaise in many context like a ketchup.
I think that is a pity because you will miss out the finer flavors of the fish and the interaction between the various ingredients.

But it is an individual choice.

Tokyo: Review of restaurant Minokichi

In early June 2015, I visited the restaurant Minokichi located in the district of Shinjuku in Tokyo. Restaurant Minokchi servers a variety of classic Japanese dishes of very high quality.

We chose to eat at that restaurant because their Japanese fondue Shabu Shabu is very tasty. A fondue where different kinds of vegetables, noodles and beef cooked in a deep pan, then the individual pieces are dipped in a sauce before being eaten. We chose a larger menu, which consisted of several dishes.
Below you can find picture from the menu.
