Pairing Sashimi correctly — a note on green tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Sashimi. I ordered it with green tea and the clean and umami-forward elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. sake in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Japanese cuisine philosophy of shokunin craftsmanship shapes how even simple dishes are prepared. The a conveyor belt sushi bar is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Sashimi with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
