Sometimes I like a little piece of ginger on top as well. Of course, I am an uncultured barbarian when it comes to sushi [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I take a bit of wasabi and place it directly onto the sushi before I eat it. I like my keep my soy sauce clean. I'm weird like that.

The poll asks me to explain "other," so my explanation is that I don't dip either side because I don't like soy sauce.

Heh. I'm a polltard for including "no soy sauce" in the first question, and not accounting for it in the second. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Personally, I'm plain and fingers-fish-side. I used to put a little bit of wasabi in the shoyu...I think that's because I ate a fair amount of sashimi growing up, though my parents usually had powdered hot mustard in the house and not wasabi.

Later, after hearing/reading about leaving it plain and understanding that the chef already added what he felt was the proper amount, I switched, and have not regretted it.

Concur on not dipping rice-side first...you folks should give dipping the fish side a try. I think you'll like the results better.

This thread makes it clear that I am a relative sushi noob. I had no idea it was acceptable to eat nigiri with your fingers, and I don't think I know anyone who dips the fish side as opposed to the rice side. FWIW I use a medium amount of wasabi in my soy sauce - more than most people i know, but not an excessive amount. A lot of people hate the taste but I think it really brings out the flavor of the sushi.

fingers, rice side, no wasabi. why would you put the soy sauce on the fish? the rice absorbs it like a champ.

AHHHH! Dipping rice side into soy sauce will cause it to soak up too much soy sauce, and overpower the flavor of the fish!!!!

That's the point. The fish tastes fishy, and I pick which ones I like based on texture.

soy only and with fingers. Don't really like nigiri.

According to alton brown, who is the authority on all food matters, sushi is finger food. So I eat it that way.

fingers, fish side, straight up soy sauce b/c any respectable japanese chef will already have the wasabi inside the nigiri, make sure you place the fish on your tongue when putting it in.

its not how i do it, its how your supposed to do it =P

If your sushi tastes fishy, then you're getting bad fish.
