Instructions

  1. Rinse the Sushi rice 3 times then cook with a rice-to-water ratio of 1:1.3. To prepare, bring the water to a boil, add the rice and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat then cover to allow the rice to expand for a minimum of 10 minutes. When the rice is done, season with the Sakura vinegar.
  2. Fillet the fish, then marinate between a slice of kombu and a cherry leaf. Leave to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours. Cut the fish into thin slices and place on top of the rice ball.
  3. Roast the Akpi seeds and pound into a paste. Place a little of this paste between the fish and the rice ball.
  4. In a sauce pan, reduce the Rosé Champagne by half, then add the cream and reduce by half again. Whisk in the butter. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  5. When plating, pour a little of the champagne sauce on the bottom, then arrange the temari sushi on the dish, top with the flowers and sprinkle with crushed pink peppercorns.
