Sushi Etiquette There are all kinds of rules and traditions when it comes to eating sushi. Wasabi likes to embrace these traditions but at the same time encourages customers to enjoy their sushi in whatever style they feel most comfortable. Here are some of the main traditions or rules of etiquette regarding eating sushi: When dipping nigiri sushi in soy sauce, just dip the fish, not the rice, otherwise the sushi may fall to pieces. Nigiri sushi should be eaten in one bite (if possible!) to avoid the rice breaking up into pieces. It is not rude to eat sushi with your fingers – using chopsticks or your fingers are both perfectly acceptable. A strict sushi meal should start with fish of a more delicate taste, such as sea bream, moving towards meatier flavours such as salmon, right up to the strongest tastes like tuna or sea urchin. The mixing of wasabi and soy sauce has become common in the west, but in Japan it is rarely seen. This is partly because wasabi is carefully added to nigiri sushi by the chef in Japan, so there is normally no need to add extra spice. If a friend offers a piece of sushi from their plate, it is polite to pick it up with the opposite end of the chopsticks to the end that you put in your mouth. Ginger is supposed to be eaten between pieces of sushi, as it cleanses the palate, rather than at the same time.
