A little more on @origamisushinola (see proecious post and link in my bio).

Masu box sake, with the purposeful over pour, a ritualized gesture of generosity.

And then this steelhead trout, a swoon-worthy cut of fish not often seen on local menus.

This is the ocean-going trout, much different from the local trout familiar from Creole menus.

Buttery in flavor and supple in texture, it most closely resembles salmon, but the trout has its own distinct flavor and is luscious against the pad of sour sushi rice, with just a bit of chunky pickled wasabi on top.

The raw fish is frozen as a precautionary preparation (same as with raw salmon), as the question does come up around this fish.

It’s an utter delight.
