Default Re: Another sushi thread - how do YOU eat it?

hands vs. chopsticks is meh - both are ok. fingers are easier.

Standard japanese practice for nigiri is that there is already wasabi under the fish so then you don't need to put wasabi in the soy. That is what you do with chirashi/sashimi.

However in the west, there usually isn't wasabi so you have to put it in the soy, a la sashimi.

IIRC, the eel is cooked in soy and so doesn't need to be dipped.
