How to eat sushi

Sushi is a very famous dish from Japan and it is one of the most popular dishes in Japan too. There are lots of different types, but basically it is cold cooked rice flavoured with vinegar, then made into bite-sized pieces. It either has fish on top or it is like a roll with fish, egg or vegetables inside, and seaweed on the outside.There are some rules about eating sushi, but they aren’t difficult!

Step 1: What to expect

On the table, you will see a napkin, a plate, a small block called a hashioki for resting your chopsticks on and a small dish to pour soy sauce into.

Step 2: Chopsticks

It is usually easier to eat larger pieces of sushi with your fingers, but you should also use chopsticks for some pieces.

Never pass food to other people from your chopsticks to theirs. This is like part of a Japanese funeral ritual and it is considered very offensive.

Step 3: Soy sauce

Soy sauce is the usual dipping sauce for sushi. Pour a little of the soy sauce into your dish. Don't use too much – this is considered greedy and wasteful.

Step 4: Eating the sushi

Pick the sushi up and dip it fish-side down in the soy sauce. Do not put the rice into the sauce, this will make it too wet and difficult to eat. Put the sushi in your mouth fish-side down too, as it is the flavour of the fish, not the rice, that you want to taste first. You should really eat the sushi piece in one go, or maybe two. Try not to leave any food on your plate. It is considered especially rude to leave rice.

Example:

Vinegar is the main ingredient in sushi. F

31.Sushi is cold.

32.The seaweed is usually on the outside.

33.You put your chopsticks on the napkin.

14

34.There are usually six pieces of sushi on the plate.

35.It is polite to pass your food to another person.

36.You pour soy sauce onto your sushi.

37.You don’t have soy sauce with all kinds of sushi.

38.You want to taste the fish first.

39.Try to eat sushi in no more than two bites.

40.It is polite to leave rice on your plate.
