Sashimi
Sashimi is raw fish or seafood, expertly sliced and served with nothing but soy sauce, wasabi, and a bed of shredded daikon and shiso. No rice — that is the line between sashimi and sushi. Quality is about the cut and the freshness of the fish, not the preparation. It is usually eaten early in a meal while the palate is clean, and the daikon garnish is edible.
