GLOSSARY

No ingredients.

Step

Sashimi (“carved body” in Japanese) is a traditional Japanese delicacy, consisting of slices of fresh fish eaten raw. Sashimi should not be confused with sushi, a variant preparation based on shari (vinegared rice).

The buri is a fish that lives only in the waters near Japan. Highly prized in Japanese winter cuisine, its highly nutritious flesh is rich in anioxidant vitamins, and can be eaten both raw and cooked.

Mirin is a sweet rice wine with a golden color and syrupy consistency, used as a condiment in many emblematic Japanese recipes. It can be replaced by a mixture of rice vinegar, sherry wine or vermouth, with sugar (3 parts liquid to 1 part sugar).

Kesuri-bushi or katsuobushi : a fish closely related to tuna, dried, fermented, smoked and finely grated, ubiquitous in Japanese cuisine.
