How Sushi Chefs Are Scored Out on Fine Dishes in a Kitchen

There’s a place where one can find sushi chefs all out; that is, in the sushi bar, which is heated with attack, in making art or real edible ones with a few simple things. Each roll, its cuts, and garnish tell a story, and not just about taste, but about tradition, imagination, and technique, sticking in the precision dough with each other (the sushi chef’s glory) with all deliciousness.

Let us take this all and get inside the kitchen.

1. Sushi’s Underpinning: Rice-Franco Style

Sushi art starts way before the slicing of fish. Rice, the heart of every roll, is an art. First, chefs wash, soak, and cook the short-grain rice so it is ready with the proper texture; it must be sticky without being mushy and be dressed with sweetened vinegar and salt.

When the cooked rice (called ‘seasoned’ rice) has chilled down properly to a correct temperature, it is ready to be used. This rice is more than just some bland stuff holding toppings; it is its own delicately pleasing resistance to flavor that then introduces rich, fatty, and sweet components to anything placed on it.

2. Edge to Taper: Knife Carving

A sushi kitchen’s primary tool is a knife. For the most part, the true artist is each sushi chef, who has spent years slicing at proper angles and thickness. Every cut helps accentuate other dimensions of taste, improve flavor, and present a visually breathtaking appearance.

Different fish are meant for different cuts—the slice could be either with the grain or against the grain. Cutting with the altered grain adds some beauty to the sushi.

3. Making and Presenting

Sushi is not only about flavor, but also texture, color, and balance. How a painter chooses color splotches to match his subject, sushi chefs choose the ingredients that naturally complement one another: pink with tuna, orange with salmon, green with avocado, black with nori.

Every layout is deliberately put in place. Nigiri could come from one hue to another. Just slash these rolls, place one over the other in a symmetrical manner. At times, edible butterflies, shredded daikon, or very little veggies can add an unexpected touch of elegance or dramatic contrast.

4. Tradition Faces Great Creativity

Sushi has its roots in Japanese traditions for ages. But most sushi chefs today seem to blend modern creativity with time-honored theories. Grab a roll, torch the layers of a toro, drizzle that one rather poetic sentence with truffle, and experience an unbending silence in front of something that ‘acknowledges itself’ in all media without sounding too blatant.
