SERVED WITH THREE SAUCES

The way of eating is as important as making the sushi. So, what are the subtleties of eating sushi? Sushi; It is served with three essential ingredients. These; wasabi, soy sauce and gari.

WASABI: Wasabi from Japanese horseradish and spices; It's a very hot sauc. Wasabi loses its aroma 15 minutes after preparation. Soy sauce is the best taste that goes well with wasabi.

The one made with the original Japanese radish is acceptable, but it can also be made with different radish varieties.

GARİ: gari (Ginger Fragrance Pickle) with a pinkish color and slightly sweet taste; It is eaten as a side dish and complements the flavor of sushi. The most important feature of Gari is that it resets the taste in the mouth while eating different types of sushi.

SOYA SAUCE: Soy sauce, which is also used in Turkish cuisine, is a must for sushi varieties. However, it is useful to be careful when using it.
