dashi

An argument could also be made for the pale pink hamachi crudo, yellowtail loin treated to a lemon brine before the fish is sliced and arranged in a refreshing cucumber dashi dappled with pickled Fresno chiles.

The togi-dashi design, when finely executed, seems to hang suspended in the velvety lacquer or to float under its silky surface.

The magnificent dashi represented all manner of quaint conceits.
