Today's supper menu is something new for me. It is "oshi-sushi" which is sushi pushed into a mould. As a Japanese, I love sushi and make it myself. But it was the first time that I have made a "oshi-sushi."
Traditionally thin rectangular mould is used for this, and cut it into smaller pieces that are just nigiri-sushi size. Instead of using a proper mould, a rectangular shaped container can be alternative, but I used a round cake mould. I thought this can be more attractive for Westerners.
Here is the sushi!
There are very limited choices of fish for sushi in England. Although England is in a small island surrounded by an ocean, it is almost impossible to buy fresh fish that is fresh enough to eat it raw. So I use only a few different kind of fish for sushi, such as smoked sermon, smoked mackerel, and prawns...nothing fresh.
Today, I used herrings. I got this idea on a website for people living in abroad who wants to cook Japanese food with the local ingredients.
The herrings I used for this is marinated and sold in a jar.
This is with dill, so this tastes European.
This sushi was great but I felt it too much Western...
But it is all right, since my husband liked it. :D

I've never thought of making sushi using marinated herrings, but this looks great!
I'll try it!!! Probably my boyfriend likes it too (as it's not too Japanesque). Thanks for a nice idea:)
hello, anima,
I guess this tastes great for Westerners, and they like this kind of decoration, don't they?
Maybe this would attract people at a party.
