A Complete Guide to Learn How to Eat Sushi Properly

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO LEARN HOW TO EAT SUSHI PROPERLY

Sushi is a collection of Japanese dishes featuring vinegared rice.

Sushi is an expensive habit so, why are we not learning a few etiquettes to eat this delectable food right.

CHOPSTICKS

Use a pair of chopsticks to eat your sushi meal. Grab the top stick at about a third of the way down, sandwiching it between your thumb and index finger. The bottom stick should sit at the base of your thumb and index finger, resting naturally against the ring finger. Use your middle finger to help move the top chopstick while keeping the bottom chopstick still. Use your chopsticks to grab the sushi roll, applying just enough pressure to lift the food to your mouth.

CONSUME THE COMPLETE SUSHI IN ONE GO

Eat one sushi piece at a time, in one or two bites. Avoid cutting your sushi into smaller pieces or separating the piece of fish from the other ingredients.

Have It with Ginger & Wasabi

Your entire sushi experience will be enhanced if ginger and wasabi are correctly incorporated into your slice of sushi dish. Dab a small amount of wasabi on one side of the sushi and then flip it over to dab the other portion into your soy sauce. This will allow the flavors to blend and enhance your dining experience.

FISH

Dab the fish in the soy sauce. Only dip the fish side of the sushi in your soy sauce, as the sushi rice can absorb too much, affecting the flavor of the fish. Avoid placing the entire piece of sushi into the soy sauce dish. It is also against proper sushi etiquette to mix wasabi directly into your soy sauce. Instead, dab your roll into each condiment separately.

The tastiest and most authentic sushi is found in Japanese restaurants, but it is also available in Kamei, best Japanese restaurant in Vancouver.
