Immersive art, in principle, has a simple definition — it's the creation of a world around the person in a way that makes them feel part of and inside of it.2020/01/08

JAPANESE HOME COOKING: Assorted sashimi

Presentation is a key component in the art of Japanese cuisine. Let's try putting together a simple sashimi plate.
"It works with blocks of fish and a kitchen knife," says Japanese cooking expert Tatsuo Saito.
Sashimi tastes best freshly cut. Make sure your knife is sharp. Each ingredient is cut to suit its texture. The soft, "chutoro," medium fatty tuna, is sliced straight, while the firmer sea bream is sliced at an angle to cut the fiber. Octopus slices have a wavy pattern that holds the soy sauce well. Garnish serves to refresh the taste palate.
INGREDIENTS
60 grams "chutoro" tuna
60 grams sea bream ("tai")
60 grams octopus
Garnish (Any of salad onion, cucumber, carrot, nagaimo yam, daikon radish, shiso leaves and others)
Wasabi, ginger
Soy sauce, ponzu citrus sauce
METHOD
Thinly slice the onion lengthwise, immerse in water and then squeeze out the water. Cut nagaimo into sticks. When using cucumbers and carrots, cut into strips. Daikon should be cut radially, then into small pieces.
Tuna is sliced straight, from the right side of block. Using the weight of the kitchen knife, slice using the root to the tip of the blade. Pull the knife toward you after each cut and push slice to the right.
Place the sea brim block with the thick side away from you. Starting from the left, place the knife at an angle and pull it toward you. Straighten the blade and cut into slices. Fold each slice in half.
Slice the octopus at an angle in jagged movements to create a wavy pattern. Make a few incisions for easy chewing.
Grate the wasabi and ginger. Pour ponzu for octopus and soy sauce separately in small plates. To prepare a dish for one person, place a clump of onion toward the back of small bowl, place a shiso leaf on the front, arrange three slices of tuna, slightly downward-sloping toward the right. Set up two sea bream on the left front, place the octopus toward the right. Place nagaimo and wasabi in front. The dish should give tight 3-D impression. When serving on a flat dish, place the ingredients in a triangular shape. Place garnish in between.

different
adj.
  1. Unlike in form, quality, amount, or nature; dissimilar: took different approaches to the problem.
  2. Distinct or separate: That's a different issue altogether.
  3. Various or assorted: interviewed different members of the community.
  4. Differing from all others; unusual: a different point of view.
adv.
In a different way or manner; otherwise: "Carol ... didn't know different until Elinor told her" (Ben Brantley).

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin differēns, different-, present participle of differre, to differ. See differ.]
differently dif'fer·ent·ly adv.
differentness dif'fer·ent·ness n.
USAGE NOTE Different from and different than are both common in British and American English. The construction different to is chiefly British. Since the 18th century, language critics have singled out different than as incorrect, though it is well attested in the works of reputable writers. According to traditional guidelines, from is used when the comparison is between two persons or things: My book is different from (not than) yours. Different than is more acceptably used, particularly in American usage, where the object of comparison is expressed by a full clause: The campus is different than it was 20 years ago. Different from may be used with a clause if the clause starts with a conjunction and so functions as a noun: The campus is different from how it was 20 years ago. • Sometimes people interpret a simple noun phrase following different than as elliptical for a clause, which allows for a subtle distinction in meaning between the two constructions. How different this seems from Paris suggests that the object of comparison is the city of Paris itself, whereas How different this seems than Paris suggests that the object of comparison is something like "the way things were in Paris" or "what happened in Paris."
