Behavior at a sushi restaurant
“What is real sushi?”
Today, I want you to feel the awareness and special feeling of eating sushi.
Shall we go through the noren? Why don’t you go through it? Life is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
With the changes and diversification of current eating habits, from the preparation of ingredients to aesthetic beauty and harmony with nature, there are fewer opportunities to experience authentic taste.
How to order sushi in style
The basics are said to be “white meat, lean meat, rich, and rolled.”
As a general rule, consider 10 kan as one serving.
The best way to enjoy a sushi restaurant is to assemble it to your liking.
However, this is just a general rule.
You can eat your delicious sushi however you want.
You can start off by having some sashimi served as a light snack, or start with lean meat.
Decide on a budget and communicate it to the store.
There is no shame in asking for a signal if you are about to go beyond that range.
Being young is a privilege, so don’t be shy and ask the store owner.
By taking the opportunity to do so, you can become an adult man who can escort women.
Delicious way to eat sushi
Although there is no difficult way to eat sushi like in a tea ceremony, there are more delicious ways to eat it.
First of all, one of the most common questions is whether to eat with your hands or with chopsticks.
When nigiri sushi was first introduced, it was common for customers to stand at food stalls and sip it in their hands and eat it.
As time passed, people started eating by sitting on chairs at the counter and using chopsticks.
Therefore, either option is fine, but from the viewpoint of ease of eating, such as the sushi rice not spilling and being easy to dip into soy sauce,
It is actually better to eat with your hands. However, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before eating.
In any case, when making nigiri sushi, remove the seeds and eat separately with the sushi, and avoid adding too much soy sauce.
Sushi without soy sauce
Some sushi tastes better when eaten as is, without adding soy sauce.
As a general rule, do not add soy sauce to sushi, tamagoyaki, kanpyo-maki, futomaki, and date-maki, which have boiled fish on top of ingredients such as conger eel, mantis shrimp, clams, and boiled squid. These sushi have a unique flavor that is unique to each restaurant, such as the boiled Tsume, so try to enjoy them as they are.
Also, the sushi that the chef serves after dipping the seeds in boiled soy sauce is eaten as is without adding soy sauce.
If you don’t understand, don’t be shy to ask the person in front of the board. They will kindly teach you.
Hakosushi, which originated in Osaka and is still very popular in the Kansai area, is a typical sushi that is eaten without soy sauce.
Sushi is made by placing pre-boiled, grilled, or cooked shrimp, conger eel, and kera (omelet) on top of sushi rice in a wooden box, pressing it hard, and cutting it into pieces.
The filling between the ingredients and the sushi rice also has flavor, so adding soy sauce will spoil the original taste and flavor.
Also, connoisseurs eat stick sushi such as Batera and Matsumae sushi, which are popular in the Kansai region, without adding soy sauce.
Order of eating sushi
There is no particular order in which to eat sushi. You can eat whatever you like, but the process is
to start with a light topping such as white meat, move on to a more flavorful topping, and
finish with a light maki such as kappamaki or shinkamaki. However, it enhances the flavor of sushi the most.
Shari size
Customers can order the size of sushi they like for nigiri sushi. If you say “larger,” “normal,” or “smaller,”
the chef will adjust accordingly.
Effects of tea (Agari)
The tea served at sushi restaurants serves as a palate cleanser.
We serve plenty of hot tea to wash away the fishy taste that remains in your mouth after eating sushi, and then to let you taste the next new sushi .
Moreover, if the tea itself has a strong taste, the sushi will taste bad.
Powdered tea is best for tea.
