The article makes the good point of don't worry too much about the etiquette. It's your meal so do what you like. There is only a couple useful ones:If you're open to any kind of fish, order a few sashimi slices first and ask for chef's choice. That lets him tell you what his best quality fish he has right now. Then you can order your sushi based on that. Sashimi is chopstick food and sushi is finger food. It's just easier to handle that way but no one will freak if you use chopsticks to pick up the sushi. I got some sushi in Manila and they didn't even give me chopsticks.You can drink right out of your soup bowl if you want although other people might look at you funny.Ask for the "real wasabi" as a lot of it is really green colored mustard and horseradish. It might cost you more but worth a try if you haven't had it.If you dip your sushi in soy sauce, dip only the top part with the fish. Dipping the rice will make it fall apart.
i used to love California rolls with caviar. however, since i really started getting into sushi (i used to be afraid to eat raw fish), i've stopped liking California rolls as much. they're still good if made well, but there's just so much more out there other than the California roll which many people limit themselves to. and i've also really grown to like raw fish, so that's another reason why i'm not as into them anymore.if you're one of those people who sticks to California rolls (and really likes them) don't be afraid to try the other stuff that contains raw fish. part of the fun of sushi for me is having great variety and trying new things. and it's not like California rolls are that much cheaper than the other types of sushi at most restaurants. if you only eat sushi once in a while, might as well treat yourself, right?

Has anyone tried whales and dolphins? The Japanese do kill a lot of them every year, unapologetically.
