How do I ask chefs who don't speak in English if they can torch sashimi, in writing?
I like Japanese sashimi better when partially cooked — partially grilled, blow-torched (see images under-neath), or seared.
I plan to print this request in Japanese, and show printout to restaurants in Japan whenever no-one speaks English. I know many Japanese don't speak English, and I don't speak Japanese.
I input this in Google Translate:
I had this question written down, because I can't speak Japanese.
i don't like the taste of raw fish. So can you please partially cook the seafood on sushi: either by partially grilling, blow-torching, or searing? Many other restaurants have blow-torched their sushi for me.
Can someone please improve Google's translation beneath? Bold sentence is wrong — Google wrongly translated 'blow-torched' as 'baked'.

生の魚の味が好きではありません。それで、あなたは、あなたの寿司の上にシーフードを部分的に焼くことができますか：部分的に焼くこと、ブロートーチすること、他にもたくさんのレストランが私のために寿司を吹いてくれました
By the way, isn't the term 'aburi' too specific?
Aburi style refers to nigiri sushi where the fish is partially grilled (topside) and partially raw.
I need all seafood (not just fish) and sushi (not just nigiri) partially cooked.
But I don't care the cooking method. Wikipedia quote states "grilled".
