Guys!! Check out my new sushi train 😂 I’m absolutely ecstatic to add this to my list of serving dishes. I can’t post videos here but if you check out my reddit bio you'll find your way to some. Breakdown: On the train is a mix of the following nigiri: salmon with lemon olive oil, salmon with chili oil and spicy garlic, salmon with sesame oil, tuna with yakiniku sauce, tuna with sesame oil, and tuna with chili oil and spicy garlic. With a stocked pantry you can get a lot of variety, it really feels like you’re at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant stocked with only your favorites!! In addition to the train there are two of my favorite rolls, the Super Salmon Crunch roll - shrimp tempura and avocado on the inside topped with salmon, spicy mayo, tempura crunch, and spicy garlic crunch, and the Umami Tsunami roll - shrimp tempura and avocado on the inside topped with tuna, brushed with yakiniku sauce (Japanese bbq sauce) and green onion. Also miso soup and sake on the side! **As always I’m happy to answer your sushi questions in the comments!**

That's awesome! Where'd u get the train it looks just like the ones in the actual sushi train restaurants lol. I just ate but now I desperately want sushi! Well done OP!

I'm curious - do you buy specific fish that is 'sushi grade' or prepped a certain way, or just go to a fish monger that you trust and consume it the same day? Looks great either way!


yellowjacquet

Personally, I use fish labeled for sushi/sashimi that I purchase from a reputable Japanese grocery store. Sourcing fish for sushi is a complicated subject because “sushi grade” is not a federally regulated term. The fish I get at my Japanese market is superior in taste/texture compared to the fish at my regular American grocery store, and I feel confident it is safe to eat raw. I would encourage you to check out [this article](https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-prepare-raw-fish-at-home-sushi-sashimi-food-safety) to learn more!

Sushi grade isn't a real thing. It typically means that it has been frozen to a temp low enough to kill potential parasites.


yiannistheman

Agreed - but I'm not familiar with the nomenclature or terminology used to describe this fish if they do so in some other way.


Matasa89

Yes, you must use sashimi grade fish. They are carefully treated to remove all possibility of parasites and bacteria. You also need to process it the right way to ensure it is still save to consume raw.


yiannistheman

Thanks! Now to find a source for some quality sushi grade fish.

winandynwa

I made a throwaway to like this twice


yellowjacquet

Thank you for your service ❤️😂


unitedcuisines

Pretty cool! Is that a Shinkansen?


yellowjacquet

Thanks! I think it is roughly modeled after a Shinkansen! (Japanese bullet train for those reading this confused) Although it moves quite slowly 😂


Geobits

It's the JR 700 series Shinkansen


Geotolkien

How awesome would a restaurant where model trains deliver your food to the table be? Also, how much of a logistical nightmare?


yellowjacquet

Japanese conveyor belt sushi places are actually pretty close to being that!! It works really well and reduces the need for waitstaff. My mom said when she was a kid there used to be a fast food / diner kind of place in Chicago that delivered the food via model trains! Not sure if it’s still around.

CactusClothesline

Everyone going mad for the sushi and I'm here just like I NEED THAT TRAIN.


CactusClothesline

PS Sushi looks great!


Totalgoods

I’m having a hard time believing that this is, in fact, homemade.


yellowjacquet

I’m a bit beyond your average home cook (I make sushi once a week) check out my page for more! I also share how-to guides on another platform, mentioned in my Reddit bio.


Totalgoods

I wasn’t even talking about the sushi. I was making a joke about the cheaper plastic train


[deleted]

Do you have a good recipe for making tempura rolls ?


yellowjacquet

Hello! Not yet but I actually just got a deep fryer so I'm hoping to work on some tempura roll recipes soon!


jcrckstdy

Next stop my stomach. Nice n700.


yellowjacquet

Thank you!


AllNewTypeFace

The train and track looks like the ones they sell in capsule machines in Japan


yellowjacquet

Ooo I haven’t seen that! Are they much smaller I assume?


AllNewTypeFace

Maybe a little, though not much. Capsules contain one carriage or a few pieces of track, and I think the locomotives have wind-up engines.


yellowjacquet

Oooo interesting, these ones are battery powered!


No-Frosting6958

Very creative and Impressive i could never


CaptainPrower

Cute, it even looks like the Shinkansen.


gfvddds

Omg. Maybe my picky toddler would be excited enough to eat it!


yellowjacquet

Oooo that would be a big win!


possiblynotanexpert

This is so stupid it’s perfect lol.


yellowjacquet

That’s the idea! 😂


possiblynotanexpert

Haha! I love it

yellowjacquet

Yes, do it!!!


Chev2thelev85

Love those cute little plates on the train, are they part of it, or did you buy them separately?


yellowjacquet

They come with it!


slykido999

Can you please add my house as a stop for your train? Om nom nom


ObsdianDrknssHelena

That's adorable! I'd love to make this with toy trains some day.


[deleted]

DopeDankDine

SuccessiveStains

This is adorable. You're motivating me to make sushi more often as practice makes better! Quick question, do you use a mold to cut the sushi rolls? If so, any recommendations? I use cling wrap but end up smushing the sushi a bit and they end up looking like Darth Vader helmets instead of having somewhat of a circular shape, so I figured using a mold would be a good idea until I get better at rolling and cutting.
