Chirashi is made up of various delicious raw fish and seafood atop a bed of rice. Ginger, greenery (like sliced cucumbers) and wasabi adorn the dish. Chirashi ingredients are at the discretion of the sushi chef, though red tuna, salmon, shrimp, tamago (egg), octopus and fish eggs are typically served. Ajumma prefers Chirashi over sashimi (where's my rice?) and sushi (I want it, but not in rectangles). Plus, Chirashi is gorgeous. Until I go vegan, this will be my big splurge.
