寿司
Sushi is small mounds of vinegared rice topped with raw or lightly cooked fish (nigiri), rolls wrapped in seaweed (maki), and seaweed "boats" holding roe or sea urchin (gunkan).
You can eat nigiri with your hands or chopsticks. Dip the fish side, not the rice, lightly in soy sauce. Pickled ginger (gari) is for cleaning your palate between pieces.
Good to know
- A set (moriawase) is the easy way to try a bit of everything.
- Many counters add wasabi for you. Ask for "sabi-nuki" if you want none.
