Maguro Sushi

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 5 February 2008 in Food & Cuisine.

More sushi from Kochi market. This is maguro (tuna). There are more boxes of the saba sushi from yesterday's shot in the background.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

I can tell I would be really lost there trying to shop. It is all so exotic.

Oh,my!!!! The most expensive maguro is indeed such a delicatesse that it is worth paying the money....you know, the one with white stripes! Maguro is something almost everybody can try......it is accessible as taste.I'm putting on weight just by looking at your shots!!!! Outrageous!

@Japanalia: Steady Gabriela... The price of tuna is supposed to be going up this year isn't it?

Wolfgang Prigge from Canada

Again very colorful. What pp work did you do?

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thanks Wolfgang. There's some curve and level adjustment, some burning and dodging on shadows and highlights, and a high pass sharpening on some spots in the shot.
