Bago Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I think you used to be able to do take-out portion of sushi from Wasabisabi for lunch. I'm not sure if they do this for evenings, or if they have this at all now. I know it was promoted when they first opened. About the rice being too soggy. With sushi rice, you have to make sure that you use the right amount, and not too much. I think sushi rice are the less absorbent kind of rice. So you don't need extra water. Even after you have cooked the rice, let the rice "steam" it its own heat further until there are no more steam left. In some cook books, it teaches you to drape a cloth over to keep the rice warm, and to stir it. However, I find the best way is to let it finish cooking itself. So after the rice is cooked. let it stand for like 15 minutes. Then rake it til its fluffy and then cover it with a cloth to absorb more steam coming off the rice. The stickiness of the rice is also enhanced if you add extra vinegar and also sugar to give it that vinegary taste. In some places, they double up the seaweed to retain that crispiness. That's why you never get a soggy sushi roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu's House Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 We're based in Barnsley and have just started selling sushi making ingredients and equipment. cehck us out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bago Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 We're based in Barnsley and have just started selling sushi making ingredients and equipment. cehck us out I hope it's cheap. There's a lot of kit and ingredients now available everywhere. The more specialist kind can be bought too now that sushi seems to have gone mainstream in the UK. If you can stock very specialist ingredient and utensil, then maybe there's a market out there. I just recently read a cook book by Nobu about where he sources his ingredients from. There's a little shop in London near Soho which stocks more specialist ingredients which is not available anywhere else. maybe it's worth going down this route now? A lot of the ingredients can be bought in chinese or SE Asian supermarkets already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu's House Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 yeah, we are the European importers of the Sushi Magic Sushi making kit. This is the biggest selling kit in the US. It makes nigiri sushi and Maki sushi rolls. As far as Ingredients are concerned, we sell mainly the premium end stuff online but our prices are pretty competitive with free delivery if you spend £25. It's not all the rage in Barnsley yet but even our local Barnsley ASDA is selling sushi now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bago Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You don't want to stock Western version of the stuff, when the real high street type food is so cheap anyway. See here for what I mean: http://www.japancentre.com/ I hope I'm not being too rude, but I know that the type of brands that you stock are the type that many major supermarkets stocks, and nobody really buys it. I wouldn't buy it, if there isn't a Japanese word on it. I know that supermarket will buy it because it's in English. However, I would also follow local brands which is used in Japan. I know that Kikkoman is a very decent brand of Japanese soy sauce. It's a global business. I would try and find others which are similar. Clearspring maybe is a good brand which is one of those organic brand, but it isn't a Japanese household one. If you notice, a lot of supermarkets like Tesco is now capitalising on this fact and stocking reputable household brands which they know is used in the restauranteur industry, or are decent ethic household names. I was quite surprised to see some brand of Jasmine Thai Rice available in the Leed's supermarket for the Asian and SE Asian population. You may get more business if you stock specialist Japanese brand, which is now more accessible. Please see that link. Added: There's a factory for this rice vinegar in the UK now. I've been using this to make the sushi rice for a long time. http://www.mizkan.net/group/europe/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu's House Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You're right. We will be stocking many True Japanese brands soon. We have a supplier in place and are putting our order together now so we should be able to compete with Japancentre. We wanted to get a few products online just to get the ball rolling on the ingredients side of things and it seems to be working. I love Mitzukan vinegars and sushi seasoning. We will be stocking there range for sure. I use there stuff personally! No offense taken, I appreciate the input and if anyone else has any ideas for the site all ideas would be welcomed. Check back in a few weeks and there will be all kinds of true Japanese sushi ingredients in the sushi store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
