3. Leave at room temperature not more than 20 minutes or if desired it can be served cold.
4. Just prior to serving add the 1/2 cup Tenkasu so that the crispiness is there with every chopstick bite
5. Dip in soy sauce if desired; pickled ginger as well.
Optional
I also plated some of the Sashimi on crisp Romaine Lettuce leaves and topped that with slices of Avocado.
As well, while shopping at the Japanese Grocery store I saw vacuum packed Tempura which are ready to fry. I bought this on a lark to see the taste and when fried a la minute (to order) it was really tasty. Remember frying oil must be between 300-350 to get the crispiness quickly so that your Tempura does not soak up the oil
***I have a fear of tapeworm - an illogical fear. Before I make any uncooked fish at home whether for Sashimi or Sushi I freeze my fish overnight or longer. Then I defrost it and use it raw. The freezing kills the Parasites that cause tapeworm. I don't even trust my fishmonger - as I said it is an illogical fear.
