and then just...put wasabi in soy sauce and dip as usual?
sorry for basic question but i used to not eat wasabi, and when i started always already included in nigri so i dont think i've ever had it with soysauce mixed like everyone else.

I've heard that you're just supposed to smear some of the wasabi on the fish itself so you can control how much you have. Also, you're supposed to dip the rice side of the sushi, but the fish side, so the rice doesn't get all soaked with soy.

Anyone else know for sure?

Yes, you should dip the fish side into the soy. You are also supposed to put it in your mouth upside-down, so that you taste the fish first rather than the rice.

I found it good to set some type of price limit.... I eat about 40-50 dollars worth of sushi... that seems to fill me up.

speaking of sushi: will some of you please step in and rate the following NYC sushi places.

tomoe: i give this place a solid 8. it'd be higher if the wait wasn't as bad. spend between $60-80

blue ribbon sushi: awesome fish, cute hostess, almost nose bleeds. i spend $100+ everytime here.

jewel bako: omakase i think was $95. FRESHLY GRATED WASABI by the cute waitress. A+ however the fish choice was not on par with what i like.

masa: true nose bleeds. . . never been. my friends only go for broker dinners. they like it.

yama: industry standard in my opinion. solid but not spectacular.

karumasuzhi: another nose bleed. . .never been.

I went here and was disgusted by the prices/quality compared to west coast sushi. It was about double the price of what I'd usually pay at a top quality place here and the quality was slightly worse. The pieces are small and you only get one per order.
