Almost a decade ago, there were hardly any Japanese restaurants in India. Today, there are so many eateries and restaurants that have opened up and spread across our country. These Japanese eateries serve us with some of the most famous and well-known authentic dishes from Japan. So, if you have a weak point for Japanese food, meet this well-known Japanese dish, Sashimi.
Sashimi is a delicious Japanese delicacy made of fresh raw fish or meat sliced into thin pieces and served with a sauce. The name of the dish ‘Sashimi’ means a pierced body. This word is assumed to have been derived from the culinary practise of sticking the fish's tail and fin to the slices. Thus, sashimi holds as much privilege in Japanese cuisine as sushi. However, most people outside of Japan confuse sashimi with sushi and consider it a dish similar to sushi. The critical difference between these dishes is that although raw fish is one traditional sushi ingredient, most sushi dishes are cooked seafood. While on the other hand, sashimi is typically and authentically prepared using raw fish or meat only.
