Battle Sushi – Keiji Nakazawa vs. Masaharu Morimoto

U.S. Air Date: 6/10/01

                        Cooking Style: Neo Japanese vs Traditional Japanese

                                         Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. Edo style sushi is very

                                         different from what we Americans think of as sushi.

                                         Instead of the tightly rolled, bite size bits of seaweed ( nori )

                                         wrapped rice, Edo style has the ingredients stacked in layers.

                                         Also, it is cooked instead of raw, maybe because the style was

                                         invented before the days of refrigeration when meat didn't keep.

                                         I cooked along with this battle and came up with five dishes.

                                         I made little drawings, about one inch square, along the margins

                                         of my notes. I finally decided to use the little pictures any way

                                         because I wanted to show my five interesting "sushi" dishes.
