I got a gift certificate for a Japanese rest what is sashimi?

Sashimi is slices of raw fish served alone, which is different from Sushi, because then the fish is served with a block of sushi rice and seaweed. Good sashimi is delicious. Get the toro (tuna) or the smoked salmon.

Sashimi is the raw fish slices. It's amazingly good. Sushi can be raw or cooked fish or even chicken, tofu, or vegetables served with rice. Part of the meaning of the word "sushi" is "with rice," so that's where that comes from.

Congratulations on getting the gift certificate. Japanese is my favorite type of food! Try the gyoza appetizer.

Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy primarily consisting of very fresh raw sea foods, thinly sliced into pieces about 2.5 cm (1 inch) wide by 4 cm (1½ inches) long by 0.5 cm (¼ inch) thick, and served with only a dipping sauce (like soy sauce with wasabi paste and thinly sliced ginger root, or ponzu), and a simple garnish like shiso and shredded daikon radish.

HTH.

Sashimi is just the pieces of fish without the rice.
