Eat sushi like a pro
Here we give you some tips so that you can eat sushi as it should be.
Since the 2000s, sushi restaurants have become popular around the world. But in reality many times the dishes are not prepared with excellent quality fish. During your visit to Japan you will discover truly delicious sushi near me, prepared with the best ingredients by expert Japanese chefs. Here we will show you how to enjoy it like a true professional.
Pay attention to order
Sushi must be eaten in a specific order to fully enjoy the experience. It is customary to start with the fish with the most delicate and subtle flavors and leave the stronger flavors (tuna, eel, egg) for the end of the meal. This progression of flavors has to do with colors, since white fish are eaten first, then silver, orange and red fish.
Sushi with or without chopsticks
Sushi is usually eaten with chopsticks but it is also totally acceptable to eat it with your hands, after washing your hands, of course. This is why small hot towels (oshibori) are offered before the meal. Next to sushi you will find ginger . This is not to be eaten with sushi but to cleanse the palate between each bite.
Condiments
The soy sauce is poured into a small plate and you can add wasabi to intensify the flavor . Then the sushi is dipped in the soy sauce so that only the fish touches it and not the rice (as it can collapse in the sauce).
