Hat-tip to the folks over at Munchies for putting together this great video tutorial of chef Naomichi Yasuda schooling a young fish eating novice on the ins and outs of your basic sushi experience, including some cool info on what ‘real’ wasabi is, proper technique for dipping your rolls in the soy sauce, and a few no-no’s that you’ll want to avoid too.

The takeaway from the lesson includes these three overarching rules:

Rule #1: It’s ok, and indeed expected that you use your fingers to eat sushi rolls.

Rule #2: Never, ever, combine eating sushi and ginger. Ginger is there to be eaten by itself as a palate cleanser!

Rule #3: Never shake the soy sauce off the sushi after dipping.

 

Enjoy the lesson?
