>always used chopsticks to eat sushi>found out sushi is actually a finger food in Japan>spent years eating with my hands>now found out that most Japanese eat it with chopsticks, but older Japs and ones at high-end restaurants eat sushi with their handsThese guys are almost as bad as the Italians. I can't win no matter what I do.
You're also supposed to eat it upside down so the fish touches your tongue first.So many fricken rules
>>21745363I always saw chopsticks as extensions of fingers. I don't want to eat sushi with my fingers because I drown it in mayo so I use chopsticks.
>>21745397It actually depends on how the chef is making the sushi, same with hands vs chopsticks. You should ask if you really care.
>>21745397Interesting graphic, but what are the rules about honey mustard?
It's unsightly to wipe rice off your fingers with a napkin, so using chopsticks is more elegant in restaurants. When eating at home, you're free to eat with your hands or suck your fingers.
>>21745397>DO: STICK YOUR TONGUE OUT WHEN PUTTING THE PIECE IN YOUR MOUTH
>>21745363Just ask for knife and spoon.
>>21745397If you go to a nice sushi place, it'll come precisely sauced and won't need a soy bath.If you're not at such a place... who gives a fuck about the "rules".

>>21745397>lightly dip the fish, not the rice, into a small amount of soy saucebut I thought these things were perfectly sauced already???
>>21749153he was right about the guy having a loud phone conversation in the middle of a restaurant, he was a faggot about everything else. and the phone thing should be enforced by the restaurant owners
>>21745405>mayo
>>21749153>screaming at patrons like he is the staffVery disrespectful to the establishment. Let the restaurant decide how it handles its clientele.
>>21749153Kek please tell me this is satire
>>21752247nope thats how millennial reddit soibois actually act(in their heads), then some of them get into tv writers rooms and you end up with this shit and sassy latinx ducks
>>21749153>but I thought these things were perfectly sauced already???Ain't no such thing as "perfect" when it comes to food, we all have different preferences and they even vary throughout the day.
>>21749168If this was actually in Japan though... The autist yelling would be worse. It's insulting to the chef/ restaurant to tell other patrons what to do in their space. This guy making a scene would be much worse than some soy sauce. Fuck whatever show this is from and shit on that actor for agreeing to the scene.
>>21752305When it's only one single bite you can't try it and adjust the salt content to your liking, it's on the chef to get it right. Dunking it in soy sauce is saying to the trained chef>You don't know what you're doing, I can tell that you should have used more soy sauce on the fish, seasoned rice, and accompaniments that you've prepared just by looking at themIt's uncouth, arrogant, and/or ignorant.It's like going to a fine dining restaurant and asking for a salt shaker. If the chef has any clue what he's doing the dish is already perfectly salted.Salt content is hardly up to preference, and soy sauce is pretty much salt.
>>21752327>Salt content is hardly up to preferenceEverything is up to preference, you stupid fuck. Literally everything you eat is down to preference.
>>21752348cooklet
>>21752327Some people do like salt, and a chef isn't a psychic.
>>21749153>Oh Tamago Boy... The egg, the egg is calling...
>>21749153He should have read this (>>21745397) because he puts it in his mouth fish side up.
>>21749153I hope that directly after this cut we see the three of them beat the shit out of that guy in the parking lot after getting coked up in the bathroom.
>>21745397i ate a sushi made from hamburger with ketchup in japanthey do not care
>>21752939No, in fact they actually approach him to kick his ass and realise he’s big in finance, they apologise to him for the disrespect and leave. It’s absolute Reddit-tier ‘then everyone clapped’ slop.
>>21745363>i can't winThe only people who care are faggots. Eat how you like it. The high end restaurant ones are less faggoty because they actually care about how their audience consumes their art and work, and this contributes to the intended experience. Outside of that, do what you want.
>>21753424Utter garbage. I've seen the clip on /tv/ before and hated it. Now I've seen the /ck/ angle and found out the guy doesn't even properly adhere to the rules he purports to defend.Slop slop slop slop.
>>21752327>When it's only one single bite you can't try it and adjust the salt content to your liking, it's on the chef to get it right.I might eat more than one piece of sushi for a meal. I've actually been known to visit the same restaurant a couple times over too.
>>21748240>If you go to a nice sushi place, it'll come precisely sauced and won't need a soy bath.
>>21749153some writer really sat down, wrote this entire scene and genuinely thought it was tuff
>>21745363I just use fork, idgaf
>>21745397>THE TAMAGO THE EGG!Jokes aside i don't mind all the rules and customs related to sushi and other special foods from other cultures. It's like a little ritual that you need to do and learn. Neat
>>21752327So what's the point of having soy sauce and wasabi by the table if the honorabru nippon chef already serves le perfect sushi folded over 1000 times?Fucking reddit pseud.
You retards hate sushi because you don’t like being told how to eat your food lol
>>21754908I'm referring to a nice, upscale, omakase sushi place, not your local strip mall joint that also sells lo mein and fried rice.
i've embraced the fact that i'm a poorfag idiot. on the rare occasion i have sushi, i get one roll at the jap grocery store. they make it all fresh, and it just gets placed in neat packages. no need to stress about fine dining etiquette, tipping, getting too drunk off sake and kirin to drive back home, being awkward with the waitress or chef, etc. did all of that 10 years ago and it really wasn't memorable. we do have some pretty good deals on "all you can eat" sushi in LA if anyone wants to be a tourist (look up here fishy fishy near ktown).
>>21755270You love sushi because you love being told what to do. Love being told which boot to lick and how much tongue along the sole.
>>21752327>Salt content is hardly up to preferenceThis is just not true. Beyond that, saltiness is a range and some things taste better precisely because they are saltier than other things.>arrogantArrogance is the chef telling me he knows my personal tastes better than I do.
>>21745397>dont mix wasabi and soylol, lmao even. I will do whatever I please weabo
>>21745363East asian cultures embrace arbitrary rules and paradox as just part of existence.
>>21756189Rereading my post, I worded that poorly.There is a pretty narrow range of salt that when added to a dish (via salt, soy sauce, or other salty ingredients) will result in a properly salted end product.If you add too much salt, almost everybody will agree that it's too salty. If you don't add enough, most everyone will agree that it needs more salt.There's not a whole lot of leeway between the two.Being properly salted is as close to an objective measure of proper execution of a dish as there is.
>>21745363Chill out Mr Miyagi
>>21756213>If you add too much salt, almost everybody will agree that it's too salty. If you don't add enough, most everyone will agree that it needs more salt.There's a wider range than you imply, and even getting you to cede that there's a narrow range of preference to begin with is like pulling teeth here because admitting otherwise is tacitly admitting that a person is justified in adjusting the saltiness of a piece of sushi to their own taste after it has been set in front of them by a sushi chef.But getting you to be honest about that is clearly a lost cause, so I'd rather ask something more interesting. Say you are at a high-end sushi establishment that you would classify as nice and upscale, and you are served several of the same pieces of sushi. You eat the first 1 or 2 and realize that it is far too bland for your tastes. Do you>keep eating and keep your mouth shut, pretending that it's perfect to your tastes when you know that adding more soy sauce yourself would improve the meal>add soy sauce yourself, assuming you can acquire it>request that the chef make his sushi saltier or otherwise voice your honest critique of his product to him that it is subparI'm of the belief that you would rather pick the first option and have an unsatisfying meal that is not to your tastes instead of risking any sort of offense to a person who honestly does not give a shit about you as a person.
>>21756289>Say you are at a high-end sushi establishment that you would classify as nice and upscale, and you are served several of the same pieces of sushi. You eat the first 1 or 2 and realize that it is far too bland for your tastes.I really would pick the third option, I'd politely tell the chef that I'd prefer a bit more soy sauce.Eating a few pieces and realizing that they're not salty enough for you is different than dipping them in soy sauce by default like the gay little infographic says, which is what sparked this whole comment chain.But I will say that I have never in my life been to any decent restaurant and had a dish that was over/undersalted, or if I have it's such a rare occurrence that I can't remember. Maybe your experience is different.
>>21745397in Japan literally everyone just adds the wasabi to the soy sauce and swirls it around and uses chopsticks to dunk it in the sauce. I've seen it in person.
>>21756427That's even worse than soy sauce dipping. Instead of implying that the chef doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, you're outright telling him that.
>>21756438I'm not telling him shit. I'm eating my food the way I want. If he doesn't like it he can step outside and we can kickbox like men.
>>21756462You're literally telling him it doesn't have enough soy sauce, what the fuck are you talking about? Try as you might to weasel out of it, you're being incredibly disrespectful to the chef and his art if you demand he change the way he makes the sushi he's trained for years on.If you're a cuck who gets offended by soy dipping, anyway.
