myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi4 months ago

We go to Tokyo2 when we're in the mall because I'm so in love with sushi. I enjoy eating eat using chopsticks but my mom and brother don't really know how to use it so they just stick one pc of the pair of chopsticks to the sushi or use a toothpick or fork just for them to have their share.

How about you? When you go to japanese restaurants or those that serve sushi. Do you know how to use chopsticks? And do you prefer using 'em?

I can use chopsticks, but I consider sushi to be finger food. I make sure my hands are nice and clean and rinse my fingers in between each piece. It seems to be pretty common among the Japanese clientele, so I don't feel so much like a pig when I do it! lol I do use chopstics for things like salads, etc.

yes,it's good to eat it using your hands too. and add up to it..it's a lot easier lolx lol

Tell your mom and brother that stabbing the sushi with one chop stick is considered the ultimate in rude behavior. Better that they use there hands.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

yes, I know that like stabbing the chopsticks in a bowl of rice right? I've heard of that in chinese series.. but I just let them be..

You know your family and how much advice they can handle. I would be mortified if I was eating with someone and they did that. It's perfectly ok to eat sushi with your hands. I wouldn't, but I don't even eat pizza or chicken with my hands.

This sushi thread made me go out and buy nori yesterday.I'm going to make some sushi as soon as I eat all the leftovers in the fridge.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

but chicken is considered a finger food. How can you eat all of it to the bones if you don't use your hands?


myLot reputation of 91/100. TheCatLady (515)   ranked 7 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

In America it's finger food, but in Italy it's not. My mom is American and my dad it Italian. As kids we ate chicken American style, but now I'm an adult I prefer to use a knife and fork. I can get every bit off, even on the wings, my favorite. It just takes practice, like anything else.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

oh I see. I'll try to practice using fork and knife too. But it's just that uually in the restaurants that we go into, they provide the use of fork and spoon but I guess there won't be any difference. I've practiced shelving shrimp using spoon and fork. My dad taught me how to because then I just know how to use my hands to shelve them.

I loooooveee sushi! I eat them with spoon if no chosticks is available, well at home only. But when I am in Tokyo2, I eat them with chopsticks. I know how to use them, but not perfectly. But I do love eating them using chopsticks.


myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

we're in the same track..lolx lol it's fun eating 'em while using chopsticks. so even if I also don't use them perfectly I still do when the sushi reaches my mouth.. GOAL!! lolxlol

Well sushis are designed to be eaten at one bite only. It means you take the whole thing inside your mouth. Well chopsticks are good for doing this but a fork cutting it is a big no-no for sushi lovers. You could use your hand but you should never cut it. thumbup


myLot reputation of 80/100. kharen (458)   ranked 8 out of 136 in sushi  4 months ago

yup, well no one's cutting 'em here.I just don't know for other people. lolx


myLot reputation of 78/100. bloodhunter13 (184)  2 months ago

sometimes i took 2 bites just to avoid choking (especially the octopus sushi. coz they're chewy) and in case of those with wasabi on top, i take 2 bites so i could dip the sushi in soy sauce to tone down the hot wasabi

but i never use fork to cut it

if i bought take away sushi i would eat them with my hand. if i go to sushi outlet i would use the chopstick. i'm fine with both. but i never use fork and spoon or toothpick to eat them.

maybe your mom and brother just need to know how to hold the chopstick right. hold the sticks the way you hold your pencil and pick the sushi up from the sides, not the top. apply just enough pressure to hold it or the rice bed will break

Yes and yes lol. I really enjoy sushi, and I always use chopsticks to eat them. I think it adds more to the experience, and for me, chopsticks aren't really that hard to use.
