More and more restaurants specializing in Asian food use ice to serve their dishes.
Specifically Japanese food, sushi and sashimi bites are starting to be served with crushed ice for a touch of originality.
Serving sushi with ice not only contributes to a more appealing presentation, but also ice has more properties that improve the quality of the dish.
From ITV ICE MAKERS, we want to explain 3 reasons why an Asian cuisine restaurant should start using ice in its kitchen.
3 Reasons to use ice in sushi
Many of us will wonder why using ice with sushi is something rare and never seen before.
It is not just an aesthetic issue, to embellish the plate and to make it more appealing, but behind this novelty, there are 3 reasons that will surprise you.
1. Humidity
Ice allows you to maintain moisture and ensures that the product remains fresh, shiny and retains its weight. Being in contact with ice, the product does not dehydrate and maintains its properties.
2. Quality
Accompanying the sushi with crushed ice guarantees the quality and good condition of the fish.
Ice allows products to be cooled quickly and it is very useful for restaurants as it guarantees faster service.
In addition, it ensures the ideal humidity levels, preserving the original qualities of freshness and prolonging the shelf life of the food.
3. Presentation
Ice is an essential element for the presentation of different types of sushi and fish. Contributes to an appealing presentation of the product on the plate when serving it to the customer.
