I can't believe you didn't know the difference between sushi and sashimi!
I love both and if I can get really fresh tuna or salmon, I'll eat it fresh, like sashimi with a little soy sauce, wasabi and, of course, that divine pickled ginger. Before I tasted it, I thought I'd HATE it.
I'm going to give that sushi a go: I'd do two things differently.
- lose the paprika
- replace the chilli with a little smear of wasabi inside on the cucumber. This is a bit how they do it in Japan - the wasabi is not served on the side, it's on the nori which is the layer after the vinegar rice, and before the salmon or whatever is the next layer.
I didn't know this last bit when I ate sushi in Japan and for my first mouthful, had a double dose of Wasabi. Suffice it to say, I drank quite a bit of saki to compensate!
Lekker!
