1. Sushi and rolls should be taken with chopsticks…

2. ... and not string them on sticks.

3. If you do not know how to use chopsticks, you can take sushi with your hands.

4. If you don't know how to use chopsticks, you can learn!

5. Be sure to place your chopsticks on the ceramic stand. If one was not provided to you, make it from a paper napkin.

6. Sometimes sticks, hashi, are not of very good quality. To remove extra chips from them, they are rubbed against each other.

7. When you take food from a shared plate, do it with the back of the chopsticks.

8. Don't poke people with sticks. However, as well as knives, forks or spoons.

9. In soy sauce, sushi should be dipped with the side with which the fish is located.

10. And not the side where the rice is. The rice is seasoned and the soy sauce will kill all the flavor.

11. Don't go overboard with wasabi.

12. Don't make soup with wasabi and soy sauce. It kills the delicate taste of the dish.

13. Sushi and rolls are eaten in one bite. Gaga knows.

14. Don't put ginger on sushi before eating it. Ginger is eaten between meals to cleanse the taste buds.

15. Appreciate the beauty created by the chef. Even in Japan, not all the rules for eating sushi are known, but rule number one: appreciate what they brought you.

16. Remember this, and your lunch of sushi and rolls will be unforgettable.

17. Just like this cat.
