Does the weather affect the preparation of sushi?

by

The weather greatly affects the preparation of sushi. Right from handling og sushi rice, preparing ingredients and making sushi with your hands.

Japanese sushi is a dish that focuses on individual ingredients. I know well that in a lot of countries many different ingredients are used in most sushi restaurants. If you look at authentic Japanese sushi there are quite a few ingredients included.

When the food becomes so simple your “mistake” is easily shown since you cannot hide anything, including the weather.

It is one of the reasons it takes Japanese sushi chefs many years to cook sushi rice to perfection which is a must if you work in a sushi restaurant.

On the Sushi course for beginners the attendances will learn what it takes to cook sushi rice to perfection.

Is there a difference in the quality of sushi in Japan?

by

Yes, there is a difference in quality in Japan. As in Denmark, the quality of sushi differs but the range is much bigger.

At the lowest level, you will find Running sushi, which most people outside of Japan have heard of. In Japan, most of the students eat at running sushi.

In Japan, there are several levels of gastronomy. Most people in Denmark consider three star Michelin restaurants as the highest. In Japan, the level is also very high but there is a level above Michelin restaurants. Yes, you heard right!

This is because there are restaurants that the Michelin Guide has not discovered.

There are also restaurants that are so popular that they are removed from the guide.
There are restaurants that are so in demand that they are unable to accommodate the many guests.

There are also chefs who are so high in age that they have chosen to slow down and only cook for their regular’s guests. The type of restaurants tourists rarely hear about.

I think that it is a bad idea.

Sushi is a dish where all the fish is basically eaten raw. This means that fish must be as fresh as possible and of the highest quality.

The quality of fish used for sushi is only available in a limited amount in the world seas. This is known to all who sell fish.
