The food item that most of us associates Japan with is Sashimi. Sashimi is basically raw fish or seafood served with wasabi (a spicy Japanese condiment) and soy sauce. It generally comes with slices of radish on the side.

The name sashimi comes from a tradition of presenting the fish itself with the meal to identify which kind of fish you are eating. Just like sushi, diners can enjoy dozens of varieties of sashimi. Some of the most common and popular varieties are maguro and other tuna varieties, salmon, mackerel, and sea bream.

You can also try clams, uni, or sea urchin, and salmon roe. Sashimi is found easily in top-rated Asian restaurants or high-quality Sushi restaurants throughout the United States.
