Tommy's sashimi
I’m not a huge fan of taking pictures of food in restaurants,but it seems so appropriate when sushi is involved,and for probably good reason. The bright,shiny,colorful qualities of raw fish —it’s like photographing a fruit bowl,or studying a table-top still life from hundreds of years ago.
Left foreground:shiromaguro toro topped with ginger paste;two chunks of maguro;three chunks of succulent hamachi (my favorite);umi masa,which is bright orange like sake,but so much fuller and satisfying;the white fish right foreground is snapper —light and delicious;in the middle of it all,behind the cucumber,is tai,another form of snapper that is served with its inner skin on under scallions and a mildly spicy pepper paste.
The food is from Ebisu and was prepared by Tommy-san,a Jedi Master in the making. My reviews of Ebisu are here.
