If you compare Danish seafood with seafood that can be bought in Japan there is a very big difference.
Japan is in a tropical climate and this means that they have some seafood other than in Denmark and the rest of Europe.
If you compare seafood like scallops and oysters you will immediately see a difference. In Japan, you have more oysters and scallops but the size of the shellfish is almost twice as big as you can buy in Denmark.
I have seen oysters at the Tsukiji fish market which are twice as big as those available in Europe. It is oysters sold from small stalls to people who pass by.

The Japanese have grown up with all kinds of fish to eat. The Japanese have also grown up following the season of raw materials. This means that there are fish species that can only be obtained in certain months during the year.
It also means that for a few months the Japanese eat a lot of a certain kind of fish since the fish species are considered a delicacy in those months.
As a guest you will find that Japanese restaurants change their menu cards from month to month. This is one of the reasons why the Japanese go out and eat.

The large temple is located in a large beautiful Japanese garden where flowers and details of the garden are highlighted in the most beautiful way.

On Sunday I held the course Sushi for Beginners it was nice as always.
On the course I was asked if it is okay to keep sushi ro the next day. Unfortunately you are not allowed to keep sushi in the fridge until next day, since sushi is made with raw fish. Sushi has to be eaten the same day as it was made.

I try to travel to Japan once a year as far as possible.
As a Japanese trained Sushi chef and sake sommelier I learn a lot from my trips to Japan.
The Japanese cuisine is a kitchen where raw materials, ingredients and techniques are constantly puffed and refined. This makes the level og the food slightly higher each year.
Beside that my horizons are expanded every time I am in Japan.
In Japan I eat fish, seafood and other raw materials that I can not get in Europe. This inspires me todevelop new recipes and classes.

Most people have the impression that the classic red tuna we know in Denmark is also the most popular fish abroad.
In countries like US and Japan there are many other types of tuna.
Most people in Denmark do not really know about the white tuna and called Yellowtail. It is fish that has at least as nice and delicate taste as the red tuna. In US and Japan many do prefer the white tuna. The white tuna has different flavors, shades and aromas which make it suitable for sushi and dishes where the red tuna does not fit properly.

The water in Scandinavian are cold compared to tropical climates. It obviously affects what kind of species in the sea.
In Danish waters are the fish type whitefish. The term covers species such as turbot, cod and pike which I often see in the window of a fishmonger. White fish is a fish that swims slowly therefore the meat is white.
The tuna as also known as one of the ocean’s fastest swimmers that is way meat is red.
