Sushi Creative

You may surprise if I am saying Japanese is the people who have very narrow mind about sushi.

All right, let me explain that.
You know, Sushi is the one of traditional Japanese meal that is very famous in worldwide. Putting seafood or some stuff into rice-vinegar marinated rice, and most of them are wrapped by black seaweeds called “Nori”.

“California roll” is the one of the popular sushi menu in worldwide. It has crab meat and avocado in the center of rice and wrapped by sesame sheet.
But you may surprise if you learn it is not well available in Japan.

Maybe you can find it in local popular sushi bar, but there is no chance to find some expensive and prestigious sushi bar in Tokyo.
Because, Japanese sushi masters tend to consider California roll is not real Sushi. Some great sushi masters consider making California roll is the shame. So they never want to that meal into their menu. And consumers look like following that tendency.

That kind of narrow minded tendency makes limitation to widen the variety of sushi, I believe. Sushi master is not willing to make new menu about sushi, just to follow the old traditional menu.

I am introducing some sushi menu found in Barcelona. They are very original and each of them was very good!! However, the most of Japanese do not understand that kind of things. It’s pity.

Foie gras roll

Foie gras are put in the center and wrapped by Nori. The foie gras is very rich in the taste and it is richer than fat tuna(Toro). And

Caribe roll
Sermon, cottage cheese and fried macho banana are put in the center and wrapped by Nori. You are not familiar with macho banana. It is big banana come from tropical zone like Papua New Guinea. It is too hard to eat as it is, so normally you have it fried one.
All sweet tastes are matching with Soy source. It is wonderful experience!!
