Part 5/8:
In an engaging demonstration, the chef prepares specially sized nigiri using meticulously cooked sushi rice, demonstrating his skill in making oversized sushi pieces that challenge traditional expectations. Each piece costs around 5,000 Yen (about $33), a reasonable price considering the size and freshness.
The highlight of this leg of the journey includes getting to taste tuna and salmon nigiri that are larger than anything typically found outside of Japan. The succulent taste, enhanced by the chef's technique, leaves a lasting impression on the host, confirming that the medium-priced sushi is both an experience and a culinary delight.
