So considering we can’t spoil you with sushi in Shoal Bay, here are some sushi etiquette tips to have you eating it like a Pro.
- Always sit at the sushi bar if possible!
- When eating nigiri sushi (rice topped with fish) or sushi rolls, use your hands, not your chopsticks – otherwise it will just fall apart. For sashimi, use chopsticks.
- Important – Don’t drown the fish. A little soy sauce is fine, but don’t dip the sushi rice-side first as it will crumble into your sauce leaving you with a mess and no delicious sushi. Instead, flip the piece over and let the fish barely touch the liquid. Bite once. Sashimi, nigiri sushi, and maki rolls should be consumed in one bite if possible, two bites for a beginner.
- Eat in order. Appreciating sushi means tasting the subtle flavours, the temperature, and texture. Start with sashimi, then sushi with rice, then end with the miso soup. Tip: Pickled ginger should be eaten only as a palate cleanser between bites.
- As for what to do with the wasabi: Nigiri sushi already contains a bit of wasabi between the rice and fish; when eating sashimi, a little wasabi mixed into your soy sauce is okay.
