WHat is the difference between sushi and sashimi?
Sashimi is the fish without the rice. If you order a sashimi plate at a sushi restaurant, youll get raw fish, often artfully sliced and arranged. Its often served with shiso, Japanese leafy greens, and daikon, a signature Japanese radish. While sashimi seems intimidating to those new to sushi, its often preferred by sushi aficionados, as the flavor of the fish is much more prevalent and not muted by the vinegared rice.
