I love good sushi and sashimi. I love it even more with good hot sake. You buying? 😀
 
FYI, As far as I know.

"Sushi" more properly (sorry Designdawg) refers to the type of rice that
is served with the meal. It is supposed to be a semisweet tender rice,
that is quite good by itself, and is also the most filling part of the dish.
"Sashimi" refers to specially prepared cuts of fish, usually the better parts
of the filet.

Most people think of sushi as the raw fish, because it is more common to see
it served with fish of some type.

Sushi can be served without fish, or without raw fish, if one so choses.
A couple of the popular "not raw fish" types include vegatable roll
(cucumber, celery and carrots), Hamago (Fried Egg), and sometimes
California Roll (CA Roll can also have crab meat inside).
There are also (probably) variants on California roll for each state/region
that sushi becomes popular in.
If you want to try out sushi, but don't want to get into the raw fish part,
you can try the above types in relative safety.

There are many different ways to prepare sushi, and as many different ingredients
as there are things that go with rice. Which makes sushi range from fast
food in some places, to gourmet cuisine in others.


BTW: This thread should really have been poll-ified.
 
Sushi or Sashimi can be raw or cooked.

I like Sushi rolls, but not Shashimi. Too much fish in Sashimi. Rolls I like because I can "pop" them in my mouth with some ginger and wasabi.

Guess I'm not a purist. 😉

 
I bet I can probably beat more sushi than anyone here. 🙂

I only like cold sake, but I have been known to go on for at least 2 and a half hours of eating sushi. Usually when I can I drink Asahi beer when I'm eating sushi. Asahi is usually easier to find than good sake.

My favorite would just have to be regular maguro (tuna) sushi. Sashimi's even better.

Like someone pointed out earlier. Soy sauce + wasabi overcomes the light flavor of the fish, which is why I choose to eat sashimi when it's possible.

On a tangent, I prefer Asahi over Kirin Ichiban and Sapporo beers. Anybody else have a preference? Kirini Ichiban would have to be my 2nd favorite, but I still prefer all three over American beers I think. Stronger flavor.

Sushi buffet restaraunts, places I ought to work at. 🙂
 
AncientPC,

My record is 40+ pieces of nigiri sushi at a Jap buffet. What's yours?

We should be friends. Rent a boat and catch fresh salmon off the coast in Vancouver. 🙂 Raw fish all night. hehe

Tai is good too.
