r/sushi

Relatively spontaneous and fast sushi for Sunday morning breakfast for myself.

Futo-maki: Salmon + avocado

Ura Maki: Salmon & Avocado and the Other Role Salmon Tartar with Togarashi Spicy Mayo coated with Tobiko.

I didn't think much about it and made the best of the few ingredients.

Constructive criticism or tips on how to properly close the rolls. I have the biggest problem there. And how to cut the avocado perfectly.

It is time for a sushi course.

My first omakase. Does this count?

Early June visit. Possibly the most old-school Edomae sushiya west of Kanto Area.

Flavor profile here continues to be dominated by Basho-San’s heavily seasoned Neta and Shari. Could be rough for diners with lighter palate, but for the ones craving salty and vinegary knock-outs, this joint will likely be your jam. Highlights for me were the signature starter of Toro-daikon hill, Octopus Negi-Ponzu, Kohada, and straw-smoked Bonito Nigiri.

Main drawback is the value for cost that has regressed significantly over the years. Personally, re-visit within the same season is hard to justified given predictable offerings.

Full course as of below, currently priced at ¥44,000.

... got the sushi from Happy Canteen in Homecrest, Brooklyn. The oysters ( ... and pea crabs) were harvested off the coast of Virginia, and the clams were from the New Jersey coast.

Akami idk

Cactus club, tuna temaki. It's delicious but is it sushi? $10 happy hour appetizer. I'm on the fence about this one.

If you want to know more about the restaurant or hear my thoughts on the food, feel free to leave a comment.

Happy to pay £4.99 for £50 of food but will need friends to help with eating it all.

Me and my friend have never made sushi before, but both love it and wanted to make it. I did extensive research and tried my best. We have mostly maki but have sashimi from the leftover fish cuts too. How can I improve?

I’m tasked with making 3 dozen spam musubi for my kid’s team snacks.

Question about the rice… we have a smallish rice cooker, and one batch of rice isn’t enough. Last time, we needed to do it in three batches, which is pain in the early morning (need to get up early).

For spam musubi, will it lose much quality if I make all the rice the night before and just reheat it in the morning?

We have a good recipe we like and a double wide musubi mold. Other tips or techniques are welcome! thanks.

This sushi/sashimi combo was a delicious post gym snack. Everything was super fresh and the pieces were solid in size.
