The Right Way to Eat Sushi

Courtesy and etiquette when eating sushi party tray as Japanese culture

Although chopsticks are the main tableware in Japanese culture, it is considered correct to eat sushi with your hands rather than chopsticks, for the reason that chopsticks tend to deform the sushi.

The exquisite craftsmanship of a sushi chef can only be appreciated and tasted with hands.

Sushi is usually made in bite-sized portions, but in some fine sushi restaurants, the chef will change the size according to the needs of the customer, such as women or children.

So sushi should be eaten in one bite. The sushi chef will offer a plate of sauce when the customer has a seat.

The sauce is mainly dipping the toppings on the sushi, instead of the whole sushi, or this would ruin the overall flavor of the sushi.
