Chapter 519: Chapter 235: Top-notch Sashimi_3

Bluefin Gold Spear tuna are fish that must keep swimming their whole lives, so their muscles are very developed, and the flesh of the large belly section is where muscle fibers and fat exist together, so cutting it produces this sand-like sound. Moreover, according to the information I’ve found, the higher the quality of the large belly section, the more texture this sound seems to have."

"Damn, all this unnecessary talk, whether it’s delicious or not aside, this thing does look and sound like it can bring people joy."

"It’s just hard to know what it tastes like; so much of the corners and edges were just thrown away. That’s all money, isn’t it? Anyone want to join me in staking out his trash can?"

"Can the host send me the discarded fish bones? I just want to nibble on them for a taste."

Seeing the barrage of comments getting more ridiculous, Lin Yang was speechless, but he didn’t say much else. He just let them be, since he was bored anyway.

In the midst of everyone’s joking, about ten more minutes passed, and by then the sashimi from different parts had been arranged and cut, and the staff had brought it to each of the diners.

Soy sauce, wasabi, lemon juice, paired with neatly arranged top-quality sashimi created an atmosphere that instantly felt upscale.

Apart from the assorted sashimi platters, Suzuki Jiro then served up their signature Golden Spearfish hand rolls. Various representative Japanese dishes came without haste, and the servers were attentive by the side.

Seeing that customers at other tables had started eating, Lin Yang also gestured to Yue’er and Xia Xiaoxue with his eyes to start eating!

Picking up a piece of the large belly section that looked the fattiest and had muscle lines akin to snowflake beef with chopsticks, he dipped it in some soy sauce and wasabi and placed it in his mouth, carefully savoring the stimulation of taste buds, tasting it thoroughly.

Extravagant words aside, top-quality large belly is top-quality large belly—its fragrance was very rich, blended with the intrinsic flavors of soy sauce and wasabi, it didn’t feel too greasy, and the texture was very unique!

Chewing quietly and then swallowing, Lin Yang picked up another piece, the most brightly colored red-flesh part. With the same motions and condiments, this new bite offered another kind of enjoyment.

The muscle fibers were much tougher than the large belly’s, giving it a more chewy texture, and the fatty aroma was much lighter, with a hint of bloodiness that was not overpowering—if you weren’t paying attention, you might not even notice it.

After chewing and swallowing the slice, there was a distinctive aftertaste of sweetness, creating an illusion as if the red-flesh part had a natural hint of sweetness.

Next, he tried a piece of the middle belly.

The middle belly had yet another different flavor profile, combining the sweet aftertaste of the red-flesh part with the soft fatty aroma of the large belly.

Overall, it was consistent with the middle belly texture Lin Yang had tasted before, but the comprehensive flavor was a notch stronger.

A top-quality product is indeed top-quality, and there is good reason behind epicureans paying a high price to try these delicacies.

After tasting three slices of sashimi, Lin Yang took a sip of water to cleanse his palate a bit, then turned his attention to the other dishes. Even after rinsing, the taste on his tongue lingered, and even as he moved on to hand roll sushi, his mind was still relishing the wonderful flavors from before.

Compared with Lin Yang’s restrained appearance for the live broadcast, Yue’er and Sister Xiao Xue were much more uninhibited when eating.

They came here to indulge in luxury dining, facing complete strangers, so why maintain any pretense? If it tasted good and was valuable, enjoying it was a win. They pounced on the dishes without reservation.

After completing a round of tastings, Suzuki Jiro’s work came to a temporary close.

He then invited a few unfamiliar names to stand up and give their assessment on the quality of today’s dishes. They didn’t understand what was being said, as none of them spoke Japanese.

But from everyone’s raised thumbs up and the applause following their speeches, it could be judged that the crowd held this kingfish tasting event in high regard, and Suzuki Jiro’s event had achieved its purpose successfully.

The highlight of the event had concluded, and what followed was a time for mingling and post-dinner desserts.

Lin Yang saw that guests were already bidding farewell to the host and leaving, so he greeted his live audience, ended the stream, and got ready to leave as well.

Having had their fill of food and drink, and unable to understand what was being said, they felt uncomfortable staying any longer.

At this moment, Suzuki Jiro once again showed great respect to Lin Yang and his group. In addition to thanking them for attending, he also gave the two ladies special gifts. The staff not only saw Lin Yang and his group out, but also provided a car service to take them back to their hotel.

Upon returning to the hotel, Yue’er and Xia Xiaoxue, who had been quiet the whole time, could no longer hold back.

With shining eyes, Xia Xiaoxue said, "Now I finally understand why those gourmands go to such great lengths to taste what they call premium big fish. The flavor is incredible!"

Yue’er also nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Delicious! I’ve had Yellowfin Tuna and Big-eyed Gold Spearfish sashimi more than once at sea, and I thought that was all there was to it, and the difference wouldn’t be too great. But looking back now, those are just trash compared to the fresh premium Bluefin Tuna we had today!"

Lin Yang calmly looked at the two foodies and asked, "Did you two get enough to eat? The food was indeed good, but the portions were a bit small. Should we find another place to eat?"

"No need to eat anymore, I still have the aftertaste on my tongue. Even the hand rolls I ate afterwards didn’t taste as good. Ah, the joy of the wealthy is indeed beyond our imagination. Suzuki Jiro knows his stuff.

Did you feel that the piece of belly we brought back from the capital a while ago was very different in taste?"

"That’s normal. The temperature of defrosting was not professional, transport wasn’t professional, and even the cutting, plating, not to mention the soy sauce and other seasonings used were different. Setting aside the subjective cultural resistance, it’s true that there are specialties within each field, and that has to be acknowledged."

"Oh no, Sister Xiao Xue and I nearly finished all the plates, but what if I’m still not full?" Yue’er narrowed her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Simple, we just continue eating! Aren’t the other branches starting to serve it in sync from the night? I’ll splurge today and take you both to eat again until you’re absolutely tired of it!"

"Really?"

Lin Yang patted his pants pocket: "Of course it’s true. The earnings from half a fish are all in my wallet, I’m not short on cash!"

"Alright, let’s switch to another store tonight, you’re treating!"

"No problem."
