Hotate Kaibashira no Sashimi

scallop sashimi This is scallop sashimi.
It has nice texture and nice taste.
And it is also nutritious food.

Scallop is rich in ingredients of "Umami".
"Umami" is one of five basic taste.
So it is delicious.


(note)
"Hotate" means scallop.
"Kaibashira means an adductor muscle in a shellfish.

  4. Umai! I do believe in the 5th taste umami, and they say that msg has that...since it enhances the flavor of food. Do you use MSG when cooking?

    The scallops looks so clean!
