Equipment

  • Sharp cutter or knife
  • Cutting board
  • Sashimi knife optional
  • Chopsticks
  • Condiment bowl
  • Small cooking pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. sushi-grade tuna
  • 1 pc. daikon radish 4 inches
  • 1 pc. fresh ginger peeled
  • 3 tsp. sake
  • 1 ½ tbsp. mirin
  • 3 tbsp. wine optional
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 ½ tbsp. tamari soy sauce
  • ½ tsp. dashi granules if available

Instructions
 

  • Put mirin (or wine) and sake in a small cooking pot and boil. Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce.
  • Add the dashi granules and tamari sauce.
  • Mix them well and let them reach room temperature.
  • Cut off the daikon radish with a sharp cutter or knife and slice it into thin sheets. Make it as thin as possible.
  • Stack the thin-sliced daikon radish and slice them again into thin sticks. Put all of it into a bowl of ice water and ensure that they separate.
  • Gently pat dry and clean the daikon before arranging them for plating.
  • Cut the preferred sashimi-grade tuna into blocks. Then, cut into thin strips in one motion.
  • Arrange the sliced tuna on top of the daikon.
  • Garnish the dish with parsley or similar.
  • Mix grated ginger with the soy sauce.
  • To serve, dip the sashimi tuna in the savory dipping sauce and eat.
  • Try eating daikon radishes between bites, dipped in soy sauce.

Notes

  • Sashimi tuna’s quality deteriorates pretty quickly. It is best consumed immediately fresh or right after serving.
 
  • Although reheating sashimi leftovers is okay, consuming them cold the next day is better. But either option can still significantly alter the taste and texture of the dish.
