World-wide there are few countries in which pufferfish (fugu) is eaten as in Japan. In Vietnam, pufferfish has been banned since it’s toxic ocurred due to lack of knowledge about distinguish non-toxic species. Consequently, there is a huge amount of pufferfish inhabiting in Vietnamese water, but whenever accidentally catching it, we have to throw or use as fertilizer. To develop culinary culture of non-toxic pufferfish in Vietnam, it is very important and essential to recognize safe species and culture them in good condition, then apply proper method to process that become safety foods. In order to initial setting up for such purpose, we carried out a sensory study in Vietnamese to test whether they can accept foods made from fugu by method of Japanese. Methods. We compared the sensory reaction to Japanese cultured Takifugu rubripes and fish from Vietnamese waters: grouper and mackerel. The 107 panelists were Vietnamese volunteers working in the field of nutrition, employees of marine companies, or government officials who could influence the relevant laws.

  • Jiro Dreams of Sushi Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmforum.com Jiro Dreams of Sushi Discussion Guide Director: David Gelb Year: 2011 Time: 81 min You might know this director from: Lethargy (2002) A Vision of Blindness (2008) FILM SUMMARY JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI brings you inside the kitchen of 86 year-old Jiro Ono, “Japan’s living national treasure,” who is considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. Jiro is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station. It was the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3-star Michelin rating. Despite the high cost and limited menu, food lovers across the globe travel far and wide to dine at Sukiyabashi Jiro, often making reservations more than a year in advance. Throughout the film, we get to know the moody, ill-tempered Jiro who started apprenticing for a sushi chef at age nine. Nearly eight decades later, Jiro strives for perfection, placing sushi preparation and the running of his restaurant above all else. The film paints a complex portrait of an exacting patriarch who demands perfection from himself, his sons, and the hard-working apprentices who work up to ten years before they’re even allowed to cook eggs. At the heart of this film is a complicated relationship between Jiro and his eldest son, Yoshikazu, who has spent the better part of his life living under the tutelage of his father with the hope that someday he will take over the running of Sukiyabashi Jiro and step out from under the shadow of his legendary father.

  • Tosches's "If You Knew Sushi"
    If You Knew Sushi: Entertainment & Culture: vanityfair.com 9/10/08 2:05 PM LETTER FROM TOKYO Maguro no kaiwa, the almost surgical process of disassembling tuna, is practiced by a tuna dealer. The average bluefin yields 10,000 pieces of sushi. Photograph by Tetsuya Miura. If You Knew Sushi In search of the ultimate sushi experience, the author plunges into the frenzy of the world's biggest seafood market—Tokyo's Tsukiji, where a bluefin tuna can fetch more than $170,000 at auction—and discovers the artistry between ocean and plate, as well as some fishy surprises. by NICK TOSCHES June 2007 t looks like a samurai sword, and it's almost as long as he is tall. His hands are on the hilt. He raises and steadies I the blade. Two apprentices help to guide it. Twelve years ago, when it was new, this knife was much longer, but the apprentices' daily hours of tending to it, of sharpening and polishing it, have reduced it greatly. It was made by the house of Masahisa, sword-makers for centuries to the samurai of the Minamoto, the founders of the first shogunate. In the 1870s, when the power of the shoguns was broken and the swords of the samurai were outlawed, Masahisa began making these things, longer and more deadly than the samurai swords of old. The little guy with the big knife is Tsunenori Iida. He speaks not as an individual but as an emanation, the present voice, of the generations whose blood flows in him and who held the long knife in lifetimes before him, just as he speaks of Masahisa as if he were the same Masahisa who wrought the first samurai sword, in the days of dark mist.
