Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh squid (cleaned, skin removed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional, for garnish)
- 50 grams Daikon radish (julienned, for garnish)

Instructions
1. Prepare the fresh squid by ensuring it is thoroughly cleaned and skinned. Cut the squid into thin, bite-sized slices or strips for sashimi. Aim for uniform pieces for even presentation.
2. Arrange a bed of julienned daikon radish on a serving plate. This creates an elegant presentation and provides a refreshing accompaniment to the sashimi.
3. Lay the sliced squid atop the daikon radish. Keep the arrangement neat and appealing.
4. Drizzle the squid with fresh lemon juice to enhance its natural flavor without adding sodium.
5. Garnish the plate with shiso leaves, if using, to add visual appeal and a touch of herbaceousness.
6. For dipping, serve low-sodium tamari sauce in a small dish alongside the platter. Add a small dollop of wasabi paste to the side of the dish for those who enjoy a kick of spice.
7. Sprinkle a light amount of freshly grated ginger over the squid for a subtle, aromatic touch.
8. Serve immediately to ensure the freshness and texture of the squid sashimi.
