Preparing fish and seafood raw is an absolute specialty of Japanese cuisine. There, as well as in our latitudes, the delicacy is known as "sashimi" – and STAY SPICED! has dedicated its own spice to the culinary heritage of Japan in the World of Asia series: Sashimi & Seafood. Here, the best ingredients for sashimi are combined in a single spice blend.

The Sashimi & Seafood spice harmonizes perfectly with all the fish and seafood traditionally used in Japan to prepare sashimi: salmon, tuna, eel, swordfish, mackerel and giant octopus, as well as Arctic shrimp, scallops and oysters.

The art of sashimi preparation lies in careful filleting: the bite-sized fillet pieces of fish and seafood should only be about 3-4 mm thick. Before serving, they are seasoned with World of Asia – Sashimi & Seafood – so the taste of the raw fish unfolds into an unforgettable pleasure experience. Alternatively, the World of Asia – Sashimi & Seafood spice can also be served directly at the table. In contrast to sushi, sashimi is not served on rice, but rice is often offered as a side dish. Traditionally, sashimi is served in Japan accompanied by wasabi, i.e. spicy Japanese horseradish, as well as soy sauce, pickled ginger and carrots.

With a mild spiciness, sweet and nutty notes and a combination of black and white sesame, this spice blend is the perfect complement to fish and seafood of all kinds.
