what is the proper way of eating sushi?

Answer 1

First, you do not need to put so much soy sauce in that little soy dish that comes with sashimi or sushi.

The more advanced part of dealing soy sauce: How sushi touches the soy sauce before it goes into your mouth. This may be surprising, but you should dip the fish side, not the rice, into the soy sauce. Many people in Japan do not know this, either, but this is critical in good sushi eating. How you do it, however, is a little tricky.

When you pick up a sushi piece using your thumb, first and second fingers, you just turn it over so that the sushi piece is almost upside down. If you are using chopsticks, you might first want to knock down the sushi piece sideways, so that you only need to twist your wrist 90 degrees to dip the sushi upside down into soy sauce..
When you touch the soy sauce with sushi, it has to be quick, almost like a fish jumping up from between the waves. You do not soak sushi in soy sauce. Sushi is after all about freshness and liveliness. So, remember, if your sushi piece resembles yourself in a bathtub on weekends, resting comfortably in liquid very long, you have done it incorrectly.

Many sushi connoisseurs say that it is the fish side, again, that first touches your tongue when eating. This way, you can enjoy the taste and the texture of the fish well with some flavors of soy.

Answer 2

With chopsticks:

Unwrap them, split them apart and rub together to get any splinters, then fold the wrapper in a 90 degree angle to form a resting place for them when your not using them. Proper sushi is always cut to bite size pieces.

Japanese culture is very attentive to manners.

Answer 3

place a bit of wasabi mix it in with the soy sauce then pick up the bite size piece of sushi dip in sauce mix and pop the whole piece in your mouth at once. yumm

Answer 4

Pretty much any way you want! There are some places where they lay out a scantily clad female, and the men (usually) use their chopsticks to eat right off her body! Always use wasabi tho, adds that zing!

Answer 5

don't use your hands, if it is reasonably small put the whole thing in your mouth, otherwise bite it to a manageable size. Try to be neat! :)
