Sushi Introduction In Japan, sushi is very popular and is one of the favorite foods of the Japanese. Sushi is a versatile and visual food which can be enjoyed as an appetizer, full meal, or just a snack. In America it has been customary to eat sushi with chopsticks. However, it might come as a surprise that in Japan it is customary to use your fingers when eating sushi. Sushi should be consumed in one or two bytes. It is seen to be poor manners to place a half eaten piece of sushi back on the plate. Sushi is typically served with a side of soy sauce, pickled ginger (gari), and a small mound of Japanese horseradish powder, also known as wasabi. A customary way to use the wasabi is to take a small amount with your chopsticks and place it into the soy sauce. Then mix the soy sauce and wasabi together until all the large pieces have dissolved in the soy sauce. All you need to do is dip the sushi into the soy sauce wasabi combination and you have a burst of full flavored sushi. Before moving on to different types of sushi in your meal be sure to chew a piece the pickled ginger to properly clear your taste buds for the next piece. The choice drinks to accompany sushi are green tea, sake or Japanese beer. Each provides flavors that enhance the sushi eating experience. Check out our glossary of sushi terms
