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 it best to use Japanese sushi rice?

by

There are many countries that produce rice for sushi such as Japan, the United States, Korea, Italy, and Thailand.

Using Japanese-produced sushi rice is not a must. In Japan, there are many different types of sushi rice of different grades. Japanese sushi rice is not always the best choice if you are not used to cooking sushi rice.

Some Japanese rice varieties are harder to cook than others, so buying Japanese sushi rice is not always an advantage.

Is it a good idea to buy fish for sushi in the supermarket?

by

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.

If you buy fish in the supermarket, then you do not know where it has been caught. There are some places in the world where the fish are better than other.

Besides, you also don’t know how old the fish is. On the packaging of fish sold in the supermarket you will be able to see when it has been packed and shelf life. It is far more difficult to find out when the fish has been caught.
