Now that Christmas is coming, I am trying to get in the mood… I found this very pretty Christmas Sushi, that was created by a Japanese girl that calls herself Ochikeron. She made this for a Japanese cooking contest called the “Sea Food Cooking Contest” back in 2006. Her blog is a collection of writings about her creative cooking and award-winning recipes created for food companies and recipe competitions in Japan.

This beautiful creation was made with minced tuna on top of sushi rice, coated with avocado paste and then topped with mayonnaise, scallion, and salmon roe for decoration. The star is made of cheese!

When I first looked at it, I actually thought the green stuff was wasabi! Now that would have been one fiery xmas tree. She also posted pictures of a heart-shaped sushi with salmon roe where the pink flakes inside are seasoned shredded cod fish “Sakura Denbu”.

Really cute!
