【英语趣味课堂】选择哪种寿司-Sushi Selections

Adrienne: So, Hiroshi, when I go to a sushi restaurant, how do I know what to order?

 

Hiroshi: It depends on the mood I'd have to say cause there is a variety of sushi that you can order. One, I usually think, there's a fatty, really big flavor sushi which is toro, it's a fatty part of tuna. Even within the toro, you get o-toro, chu-toro. There's like several different kinds. It depends on how much the fat part is being contained, so if you want to go for the big flavor, I would definitely go for toro, the fatty tuna.

Adrienne: So fatter is better? For Tuna?

 

Hiroshi: It depends. Yes, they also have just regular red maguro, which is just the red tuna, with just lean tuna part, so it doesn't contain any fat. It's also good, so it depends on you're mood

 

Also, actually, my dad used to tell me that like you always end with eggs because it cleanses¹ your palette, so...

 

Adrienne: Eggs like chicken eggs?

 

Hiroshi: Ah, yes, just regular eggs. That tamago eggs, that's kind of like scrambled² eggs, but it's on top of the rice.

 

Adrienne: Oh, that's the big yellow cube.

 

Hiroshi: The big yellow one.

 

Adrienne: I know it. OK... So, if I order sushi it's going to be shellfish or fish or egg? Always?

 

Hiroshi: You also get some vegetables. Cucumbers, Kanpyo - that's another type of kind of marinated vegetable, and also nowadays some sushi restaurants have avocado. That's actually reverse imported from the United States. The traditional Japanese restaurant never had avocado as a menu, but since the United States, California-style.

 

Adrienne: California roll. I know it.

 

Hiroshi: It became very popular, that some Japanese started enjoying the California style sushi, so that you can sometimes get even in Japan nowadays.

 

Adrienne: I had one time, in America, I had a Seattle roll which was cream cheese and salmon³ in rice and seaweed, so really different cause usually there's not cheese in sushi right?

 

Hiroshi: : Traditionally, you'd never see cheese in any sushi menu if you go to old-school sushi restaurant in Tokyo, probably they're gonna laugh at you.

 

Adrienne: Yeah, it did seem a little bit strange.
