Thanks for the added information, Pat. I knew I didn’t see any potatoes in the sushi, but I couldn’t figure out what happened to them!

Great post Janet, thank you. One correction, the potatoes they were cutting up were actually for another dish they made that day (Kinpira) so no potatoes were used in the chirashi zushi. The mushrooms were indeed local. Yes, the greens were Perilla (beefsteak plant or, in Japanese, green shiso). The rice was “sushi rice” a special kind that is sticky (a Japanese variety grown in California and available locally at the Merc).
