I love sushi. Perhaps is the beautiful marriage of fresh fish and grainy goodness that keeps me coming back for more. Being an ardent sushi eater, I was surprised to find out that I have been breaking some of the important sushi eating rules.
Did you know that you are not supposed to mix wasabi with soy sauce? (Hmmm...I wonder who came out with this idea of mixing it together). Also, never ever rub your chopsticks against each other to remove splinters. It is extremely rude. (Really?? Not even for safety reason?).
this is nice..
ReplyDeleteNow I know how to eat sushi.. :)
Yea.. now the challenge is to avoid breaking these crucial rules.
Deleteoh...i have been adding wasabi to soy sauce since forever. damn!
ReplyDeletethanks for the info! will bear these in mind!
Me too!!! I think is time for us to stop doing it. =D
DeleteOkies! I am guilty of mixing wasabi into my bowl of soy sauce all the time:(
ReplyDeleteI think many of us are guilty of doing it. Don't worry.. Rules are meant to be broken sometimes .. =D
DeleteOppsss... Looks like I've been eating the wrong way all these while. :P
ReplyDeleteHEhehe.. never too late to change =)
DeleteAwesome tips! I've been mixing my wasabi with my soy sauce for far too long!
ReplyDeleteMe too... Somehow it taste a little bit better yea? =)
DeleteThanks for sharing, I always dip my rice instead of the fish into the soy sauce, silly me >.<
ReplyDeletenot silly at all... i do the same thing as well =D
Deletei'm guilty of not using my chopsticks properly! i didn't realize the part about using the blunt end to pick up sushi from a shared plate :D
ReplyDeleteI think this is for hygiene reason. We should always use the blunt end to pick up food from a shared plate =)
DeleteNice info! Hahahah~ Luckily I read your blog..am planning to go for a Jap cuisine next week!;P
ReplyDeleteehhehe.. now u can share all these tips with your friends =D Enjoy your Japanese dinner yea.
DeleteThanks for tips which is very useful. I seldom each sushi but you never know the need to eat it the right way may arise.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you will find this useful in the future =D
DeleteBtw, my friend is looking for bloggers to attend a restaurant rebranding occasion. I am going to submit your blog and if your interested, we can meet during the same function.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nava. Hope to see you soon! =)
DeleteHaha I'm proud to say I don't mix my wasabi and sauce..but only because I don't use wasabi! It's the first thing Wendy does when we sit down at a Jap restaurant though! Aiyo but I'm guilty of nearly everything else including biting sushi in half. How to eat such expensive things in one mouthful? :(
ReplyDeleteOo... didnt know about not mixing wasabi with soy sauce... but then again, most Japanese restaurants should actually be smearing the wasabi in the sushi so we dont really need it for dipping....guess its localized over here in Msia...
ReplyDeleteThe way I eat sushi depends on my mood... hehehe soemtimes I go chopsticks, sometimes I just chuck it and use my hands... hehehe :P
I am guilty of not eating sushi the right way. My parents have always mixed the wasabi in the shoyu and I have always eaten the sushi skin-up. Received quite a lecture from a Japanese before, but it's a habit that I can't grow out of it just yet. =(
