Step 2: Sushi Basics
Before you start eating sushi, learn some sushi basics.- Sushi is typically eaten together with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
- You can dip the sushi in soy sauce before eating it.
- To add some spice to your sushi, dip it in wasabi.
- Wasabi is often mixed with soy sauce.
- Eat pickled ginger between sushi pieces to refresh your taste buds.
- Smaller pieces of sushi are eaten in one piece, while larger pieces are eaten in several bites.
- It's best to eat spicy sushi or sushi with cooked seafood last because the stronger flavor can overpower the taste of sushi with milder taste.

Step 3: Sushi Etiquette
If you are going to eat sushi in Japan or in a traditional setting outside of Japan, it can be useful to learn some sushi etiquette.- In a traditional sushi restaurant, sushi is ordered from the sushi chef (itamae) and drinks are ordered from the waitress.
- If you are given a hot towel, it's meant to be used to wash your hands.
- Due to symbolism associated with it, do not leave your chopsticks standing up in the middle of the food and do not pass food from your plate to another person's place with chopsticks. Instead, place the food on a plate and pass it this way.
- Sushi can be eaten with hands or with chopsticks.
