Step 1
Remove hamachi from refrigerator 5 minutes before slicing to allow it to reach optimal temperature.
Step 2
Using a very sharp sashimi knife, slice hamachi at a slight angle into 0.25-inch thick pieces, wiping the blade between cuts.
Step 3
Arrange daikon slices and shiso leaves on chilled plates as a bed for the sashimi.
Step 4
Arrange hamachi slices slightly overlapping on top of the daikon bed.
Step 5
Place a small mound of wasabi on each plate, add a pile of pickled ginger, and serve soy sauce in a small dipping bowl.
Step 6
To eat, dip a slice in soy sauce mixed with wasabi, and pair with pickled ginger between bites.
