Sushi And Sashimi Platter

Sushi and sashimi are two popular Japanese dishes that have gained global popularity, and you can often find them on menus at Japanese restaurants in the USA.

Sushi is a dish made with vinegared rice and various toppings, such as raw fish, vegetables, and seaweed, wrapped in a thin sheet of dried tofu called "nori." There are many types of sushi, including maki (rolls), nigiri (hand-formed sushi), and sashimi (raw fish sliced into thin pieces).

Sashimi, on the other hand, is a dish made with thinly sliced raw fish, typically served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. It's important to note that sashimi-grade fish is typically frozen to a certain temperature to kill parasites, so it's safe to eat raw.

A sushi and sashimi platter is a great way to try a variety of different types of sushi and sashimi. It typically includes a selection of maki rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Some common items you might find on a sushi and sashimi platter include:
