Sushi has long been associated with simple yet elegant ingredients such as raw fish and various types of vinegar-seasoned rice. However, modern sushi restaurants and enthusiasts alike are experimenting with diverse topping options to take sushi making Tokyo to the next level. In this article, we'll explore some unique and mouth-watering topping ideas that will surely satisfy the cravings of the modern foodie.
One of the standout topping options in recent years is the use of high-quality rich flavors found in seared scallops, often served on top of a delicate piece of seared protein. Paired with a dash of lemon zest, the combination is nothing short of heavenly.
Another interesting topping is the sweet and spicy combination of pickled pink peppercorns with a kick, and house-made creamy avocado salsa. The crunch and char of the peppercorns provide a delightful contrast to the smooth and creamy avocado, while the sweetness of the natural sugars in the ingredients balances out the spiciness.
