↓The Answer

  • Ideal order is: The second photo

Whelk – its firm texture and ocean aroma awaken the appetite

Squid – light and delicate in flavor

Sea bream – clean, refined white fish

Amber jack – a bridge from white fish to richer cuts

Tuna – deep umami of red meat

Shrimp – sweet, with a lingering finish

  • Why?

Because you move from lighter, more delicate flavors to richer, stronger ones, finishing with sweetness that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.

Eat it however you like, people in Japan take sushi very seriously.
