DasOh yeah
I'll take - foods I don't get in my grocery store in Pennsylvania for $10.59, Alex!
Made some (and gave a quick short lesson on making the rice and rolling) #sushi with friends and their kids.
Between local fish stores and HMart some great ingredients here, especially local yellowtail.

Picked up this bottle of #Sake at HMart in CA
Went well with the sushi dinner - a touch on the sweet side. (Picked this Dassai over the Sugei Tobetsu 'Drunken Whale’ bottle at same price). Didn't realize Dassai is brewing in the US, in NY now.

Chris Pearce@SRDas This is all very confusing.
DASSAI BLUE
Only Junmai Daiginjo Our sake is Junmai Daiginjo, a premium grade sake that is made with rice polished down to at least 50% of its original size and no additional alcohol or additives are used in the brewing process. Our sake has four ingredients - high-quality Yamada Nishiki rice, local water, koji mold, and carefully
@takosix oh! Yes, agreed! Hopefully they aren't still getting rice from Japan for this.
There's no mention about Dassai Blue 23 (a different bottling - was 3x the price). And sushi omakase pop ups? Huh - not sure what they're up to

The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉@SRDas I wish I had the patience for making sushi!
Good sushi is hard to come by around here.
@ApostateEnglishman if you can get a good fishmonger and fish then it's a lot easier. I learnt to make sushi a while ago and mostly the thing that bugs me about sushi places is when then don't season the rice right or it's too cold.
@SRDas We do have one (1) decent fishmonger, so that's a start!
I'm guessing the trouble with sushi is that it you've prepared it in advance and chilled it, then you have to serve it chilled? 'Cos leaving seafood out long enough to reach room temperature might be risky. 🤷🏻♂️
@ApostateEnglishman not that risky, you don't want the fish cold. I typically trim the block so it's ready to cut in slices and marinate (really just a coat of soy in a dish) and keep in fridge, then when other stuff is ready, take out, cut into slices and make and serve. So maybe 30 mins max out of fridge and that's fine.
