The Dish

“Aburi Sushi”: Chutoro, Torched Yuzu Miso Greek Yogurt Sauce, Crispy Seasoned Sushi Rice, Spirulina Low Cal Crisps, Sweet Soy Sauce, Truffled Hot Sauce

Primary Inspiration

• Calvin’s healthy lifestyle & niche as a content creator
• Calvin was learning how to make sushi & sashimi & loved aburi sushi

Secondary Inspiration

• Calvin loves creating high protein dishes, so I used double protein sources: chutoro and Greek yogurt.
• He appreciates fine dining and presentation, so I reimagined a familiar dish with an elegant twist.
• The spirulina crisps and scallions mimic seaweed visually and thematically, like seaweed in water.
• The red sauce in the center also pays homage to Japan’s flag, aside from flavor balance.
