Sashimi Naruto

Its time for something different. Sashimi Naruto, a small appetizer that you can enjoy looking at as well as eating it.  Naruto is sushi that is wrapped around in cucumber instead of rice.  This appetizer contains a various amount of sashimi.  It is meant to be eaten piece by piece.  I always say “It feels good to eat something beautiful.”
