Sushi Etiquette 101: How to Eat Sushi Like a Pro

Did you know there’s a "right" way to dip your nigiri? To truly appreciate the craftsmanship of a sushi chef, it’s important to understand the traditional etiquette that enhances the flavor and experience.

The Soy Sauce Dip

When eating Nigiri (fish on top of rice), always dip the fish side into the soy sauce, not the rice. This prevents the rice from soaking up too much salt and falling apart.

Wasabi and Ginger Rules

Ginger (Gari) is a palate cleanser, not a topping. Eat a slice between different types of fish to reset your taste buds. As for wasabi, most chefs already place the perfect amount inside the roll, so go easy on the extra spice!
