@Olaide: The topping consists of sashimi (raw meat - fish in this instance) which changes depending on the availability. fish roe as well as a knob of wasabi on top. The rice underneath is mixed with vinegar to give it taste. It is just like sushi - except a much bigger portion!

Err dang it I obviously meant おいしい。 My Japanese isn't so strong. ;-) But it is a fantastic photo!

@travelingrant: Haha....mine too! I should be ashamed and I had been here for three years now! The only thing I noticed that had changed is my English which is deteriorating from day to day! Arghhh!

An important aspect of a food to me is its colors, which is as important as its taste. This food has great colors.

Great photo! I've tried sushi three times but I can't seem to acquire a taste :( But I do like your picture!

11 Jul 2007 6:32pm

@Shrig: Raw fish/meat. Not to everyone's taste. But at least you tried :)
I love sushi/sashimi btw.

Not the same Laurent and another comment. These sashimi look very tasty and remind me that I have to go to a Japanese restaurant with my wife for our anniversary. I'll be back soon.
