Tai Konbu Jime
Kelp-Cured Sea Bream Sashimi-Style
Yes, keto as served. About 1g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Japanese dishes.
What it is
Fresh sea bream (tai) fillets are lightly cured between sheets of kombu (kelp), imparting a subtle umami flavor and firming the fish's texture. Served thinly sliced, sashimi-style, usually with a minimal amount of soy sauce (keto-friendly) or salt.
Key ingredients
Sea bream (tai), kombu (kelp), salt, keto soy sauce (optional), wasabi (optional), pickled ginger (optional, limit).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Request plain soy sauce or tamari, or eat as-is. Limit or omit pickled ginger.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
鯛昆布締めは、甘い味付けなしでお願いします。醤油かたまり醤油で、ガリは少なめか不要です。
For the Tai Konbu Jime, please no sugary marinades. I'd like plain soy sauce or tamari, and no or minimal pickled ginger.
Watch out for
Potential for sugary soy sauce or sweet condiments. Pickled ginger often contains sugar.
