Method

  1. Slice the yellowtail belly into thin sashimi pieces, aiming for a thickness that is not too thick nor too thin.

  2. Arrange the daikon radish slices on a plate as a base for the fish.

  3. Place a shiso leaf on top of the radish, then lay the sashimi pieces on the leaf with the belly side facing up.

  4. Add thin strips of ginger and a small dab of bottled wasabi beside the fish.

  5. Scatter the chilled green onion strips over the plate for color and texture.

  6. Finish with a few spoonfuls of iura (salmon roe) for extra flavor and visual appeal.
