Sashimi, whether in tuna or salmon is
perfect as a beer buddy. You don’t even have to purchase expensive servings
from Japanese restaurants to have one. You can make a homemade version through
ingredients that are readily available through a local supermarket or grocery.
What you will need is either a tuna or
salmon fillet from the wet or meat section. It is normally going to cost around
Php 200 or higher depending on the size. Next, head over the spices or
condiments area and look for a Japanese soy sauce and wasabi paste. These will
cost over Php 200 each as well. If you can’t find them in spices or condiments
area, it should be in the Asian or specifically Japanese products racks. If you
still can’t find it, ask a sales attendant. Any large supermarket or grocery
will have these and you don’t need to purchase them from specialty shops.
To prepare, simply wash the fish meat
and cut into your desired size. The ideal is of course small strips similar to
how sashimi is served in Japanese restaurants. Plate the fish onto a platter or
plate with wasabi paste spread on one side. This allows everyone to take only
the portion they can tolerate. Wasabi is really spicy so be careful. Lastly,
the soy sauce is poured onto a bowl. There’s no need for any additional
ingredient. Japanese soy sauce is unlike our local brands and comes with a
delectably unique taste that can stand on its own without adding anything else.
Kampai!
