I've more excuses to eat sushi, cos this is #BurppleSushiMonth! This doesn't look like sushi yet, cos this is taken during the elaborate preparation of a negitoro uni sushi.
🔸
Step 1: Otoro skin is torched so that the fat drips onto the chopped akami.
Step 2: Akami is mixed.
Step 3: Fish is sandwiched between distilled water ice cubes and bamboo leaves for exactly one min so that the fat would harden, but when placed over warm rice and in your mouth, it will melt and you can taste it.
Step 4: Rice is shaped, topped with tuna, red miso aged yolk, wasabi and shoyu, then placed on hand to be eaten in one bite.

Unfortunately I didn't get to try this.. I think it must have tasted amazing too..!
