Editing Shellfish (section)

===In Japan===
In [[Japanese cuisine]], chefs often use shellfish and their [[roe]] in different dishes. [[Sushi]] (vinegared rice, topped with other ingredients, including shellfish, fish, meat and vegetables) features both raw and cooked shellfish.  [[Sashimi]] primarily consists of very fresh raw seafood, sliced into thin pieces. Both sushi and sashimi are served with soy sauce and [[wasabi]] paste (a Japanese [[horseradish]] root, a spice with extremely strong, hot flavor), thinly sliced pickled ginger root, and a simple garnish such as [[Perilla|shiso]] (a kitchen herb, member of the [[Mentha|mint]] family) or finely shredded daikon radish, or both.
