[Gift guide 2024] Sushi Master

Sushi masters can spot an improperly sliced piece of tuna from across the room. They rise at dawn to select the freshest fish at the market, examining each one as if their life depended on it. For them, each cut of sashimi is an art piece, and they will correct anyone who dares use the word "sushi" to describe California rolls. They sharpen and polish their knives with reverence because a dull blade is an insult to the fresh fish, and their idea of a wild Friday night is testing a new way to roll maki with a bamboo mat – and by “wild,” they mean impeccably disciplined.
