The beef tataki looks so good. Haven’t had a properly made one in a while. Which is to say, some undesired side effects came into play the last time I had tataki.

Those prawns look delicious ~ but I think that sushi rice salad with prawns would be my favorite too!

Thanks to everyone for our comments! Here’s the details for the wonderful Japanese chef who made all this possible: http://www.misakibyron.com.au Enjoy!

@Arwen – I love papaya. Will try it with lychees, yum.
@Lorraine – So, there’s another thing we have in common, hey?
@Y – Yes, I believe he does, see link above.
@Jess – Wow, so close to the Fish markets. I’d have fresh sushi for lunch everyday.
@Peter – That’s a great way to describe it. Very memorable.
@PigPig – I believe he mixed it in, not sure though.
@Kiki – It was fabulous!
@Lizzie – It’s such a shame prawns come pre-peeled in UK supermarkets. I missed them while living there.
@Joie de vivre – Happy New Year to you too! Loving your French women don’t get fat posts!
@Epicurean – Yes, thanks for asking. See above.
@Helen – Loove your description! Fat free and fancy. Exactly!
@MsGourmet – Deal! ;)

That looks fantastic… Is there any chance of getting the details of that japanese chef, if he caters for the general public as well?

I’m so glad you posted this late rather than never. It looks like you all had a fabulous time! Can I still say Happy New Year since it’s a New Year’s post?

Wow what a feast! That sushi rice sounds amazing! Did you just mix the mayo in with the rice?

Prawns and oysters always make an appearance at our christmas lunch table. Helps that Mum and Dad are only a five minute walk from Sydney Fish Markets.

Your Japanese meal looks amazing. And definitely a non-traditional christmas meal.

Wow everything looks great! Does that Japanese chef specialise in catering only?

Wow, the first time for prawns! The food looks fantastic and I also have a serious love for Japanese mayo :)
