For beginners, know the basics between sashimi and sushi. Sashimi and sushi are two of the cuisine’s most popular dishes. Sashimi is any selection of very fresh raw seafood that is thinly sliced and served as is, while sushi is a combination of fish and vinegared rice served in a variety of ways. The more popular sushi variations are ‘maki’ and ‘nigiri’ or ‘nigirizushi’--maki sushi is made up of rice combined with fruits, vegetables or other ingredients and rolled inside a seaweed wrapper called a nori while nigiri is a more basic oblong-shaped Japanese rice topped with a sliver of raw seafood and held together with wasabi or a nori belt. For added flavor and to balance tastes, dip the fish lightly into soy sauce mixed with wasabi.

Eating tuna means eating heathy with its very low 2% fat content and high protein. It is a wonderful source of Omega 3 fatty acids, which increases good cholesterol, improves brain function, moderates blood sugar levels and lowers blood pressure to control hypertension. It is a source of selenium too, which flushes toxins out of the liver.

Guaranteed delectable, of the highest quality of freshness and guilt-free, each set of tuna sashimi and tuna nigiri sushi comes with a lightly seasoned tuna tartare salad, a delicate medley of tuna sashimi on a bed of greens tossed in a light miso-wasabi dressing and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Once you’ve finished the set, ask for refills to your heart’s content.
