 Profile
Dining StyleJust for you from ZEN.We make original blend sushi rice using fine short grain rice. That is 64% more rich in fiber, with 161% more vitamin B6 and 400% more antioxidants, than regular rice. The popularity of Sushi is greater now than ever. People are much more health conscious and enjoy the fact that Sushi is low fat, loaded with nutrients, and easy and quick to make. For instance, a typical serving of Sushi consists, which is around 350 to 400 calories. Because of the fish, Sushi is high in protein and an excellent source for Omega 3 fatty acid. From the seaweed used in Sushi along with the rice, this food is also rich in iodine and complex carbohydrates. Sashimi often is the first course in a formal Japanese meal. Many Japanese people believe that sashimi, traditionally considered the finest dish in Japanese cuisine, should be eaten before other strong flavors affect the palate. Culinarily, sashimi represents the Japanese cultural appreciation of subtlety. Gari (sushi ginger) is usually eaten between dishes of sushi, as it is said to help cleanse the palate.Wasabi is generally sold in the form of a root which must be very finely grated before use, since fresh wasabi is extremely perishable and more expensive than horseradish. Once the paste is prepared it should remain covered until served to protect the flavor from evaporation. For this reason, sushi chefs usually put the wasabi between the fish and the rice. The sliced seafood that composes the main ingredient is typically draped over a garnish. The typical garnish is Asian white radish, daikon, shredded into long thin strands, accompanied by one green Ooba leaf per slice. Most of Japanese garnish are Eatable.
