I still do this.

Why?

Because it's great.

>>9327381
i find it funny that it seems like etiquette in most cultures was made by literal autists

>>9327381
>muh rice and fish must be prepared and eaten a specific way

I tale it to go amd eat it without any judgement for what i feel like doing with it. Youve taken the wrong pill. This is the best way to enjoy sushi

>>9327387
>>9327397

I bet you lose your shit if someone at the next table over in a restaurant orders their steak medium well.

>>9327401
Steak isn't supposed to be eaten medium well?

>>9327381
The only time I'd ever eat sushi the "right" way is if I was in some fancy restaurant where you pay for that specific experience

>>9327419
Well Anthony Bourdain co-wrote it

>>9327442
this.

most of the time when i have sushi, its at some sushi buffet or something. i dont give a fuck about "etiquette".

Aside from sushi, is there any other autistic "etiquette" in food?

I eat sushi with my hands.

>>9327528
plenty

Does sushi taste better when eaten the "proper" way?

>>9327414
At this point, I feel like if 4chan just fucking stopped using the word "meme" for about a month or so, maybe the quality of discussion would actually fucking improve a little.

>>9327414
At least the Nips have a culture

>>9327581
Any worse than sushi?

>>9327722
pho

>>9327831

>>9327831
>inb4 pho internet defense force comes out of the woodwork to defend VIETNAMESE TASTELESS DISHWATER SWILL TRASH.

>>9327861
Wait what

As someone who was born in Japan, this "right way" to eat sushi is a myth. It's normal to use soy sauce. It's normal to add wasabi to the soy sauce. It's normal to eat sushi with your hands. I'm pretty sure this "proper way" is made up by American journalists and white sushi chefs.

>>9327831
I just left a pho place after getting into an argument with my gf, because she thought the bowl was too small for pho. It's just fucking food, eat it!

>>9327878
>normal to eat sushi with hands

Lmao absolute bullshit silly cunt hook wannabe

>>9327722
I don't know but dont some richfags have dinners with like 34 different types of spoons, forks and knives for their shitty meals?

Also is it true nips look down on you if you use forks to eat sushi or pretty much anything?

>>9327878
>It's normal to eat sushi with your hands
Except that's considered to be the proper way

>>9327888
Sushi is fingerfood. You use your hands. Chopsticks are for rice and noodles. Americans are stupid. Do you eat your burgers with chopsticks too?

how is anyone supposed to know? are we supposed to do extensive research before eating?

americans are too important for that. if there aren't detailed pictures on the menu we aren't interested.

>>9327888
>Lmao absolute bullshit silly cunt hook wannabe

lol what? It's finger food

Some people eat it with chopsticks, but it's like eating pizza with a fork and knife

Most people do it with their hands

>>9327890
True Nips will look down on you for not being a chink like them, so fork your sushi all you want, you'll always be a baka gaijin in that tiny space they see through.

>>9327867
Have you never eaten pho, without a gook standing over you? Those nice condiments and that plate of additions are not optional. You have to add them, in the proper order, and then mix the shit for 20 minutes, otherwise you have insulted Mother Mountain and Father Dragon.

>>9327923
Because he's such a character.

>>9327920
>>9327931
This is the best part, mixed my own bowl tonight. They had freshly made chili oil, awesome, right? Nope, needed sriracha as well. I hate that sugary shit, but it's not authentic Vietnamese pho without that American sauce.

>>9327928
>Those air raid sirens

>>9327901
For Americans sushi is an opportunity to show your friends how cultured and worldly you are by demonstrating that you can use chopsticks effortlessly.

>>9327923
He cowrote the comic in the OP
It's called Get Jiro

>>9327890
yeah i had a 9 course degustation dinner once
they had to autistically change your cutler and crockery every time you finish
at the end of it i was terrifically bored of the procedure,could've eaten it like a pig from plate to mouth and it wouldn't be any less of an experience

>>9327928
My sides

>>9327391
A lot of great things in life were made by literal autists, such as memes, computers and car detailing

>>9327931
I hope you know sriracha is a type of sauce and not just a brand, you fucking moron

Sushi is a modern convention
Koreans put blueberries and shrimp on "Pizza"
people are stupid

>>9327400
Why does he kill the second guy but not the guy who actually ordered the roll?

>>9328043
Look at the earlier page at the OP
The person he killed mixed wasabi with soy sauce, used chopsticks, picked it up fish side up, and dunked the nigiri in the sauce letting it fall apart and ruin its structure.
He probably would've killed the other guy if he didn't apologized immediately

>>9328056
So it's not appropriate to use chop sticks for sushi? Or just nigiri?

That wasabi with soy sauce bullshit only works for masking the taste of grocery store sushi. I had a mexican friend who would stuff an entire party platter of sushi up his ass then walk out of the store with it and then he'd do that wasabi soy sauce shit to make it palatable.

>>9328113
You use your hands apparently

>>9327381
>Not just eating it off the plate with your face like the dog you are
Why even bother

>>9327641
haha. newfag

>>9327381
Anthony Bordain is an insufferable faggot

>>9328017
The term "Sriracha sauce" has never officially been trademarked but its always been recognized as a brand of sauce since its inception. Think before you talk shit faggot.

>>9328119
>things that didnt happen

>>9327641
What should the word filter be?

Anyone here been to Japan? Their sushi is good and all, but I've had better in the States.

>>9328279
Did they do the traditional stuff?

>>9327381
You mean eating it with your hands? Because that's how you are supposed to eat sushi.

>>9327920
im viet and thats retarded.

I would eat sushi with a fork as it would be the actual civilized way to do it, not with some wooden sticks like a brute. This "etiquette" comes from the same people that never invented the mop so instead have to run ass up to scrub the floor with a giant brush like retards.

But then again what do I know about the ancient art of putting raw fish on rice folded a thousand times?

>>9328360
How do you do it then?

Are California rolls really a sin to sushi?

>>9328285
Of course. But it was hard pressed to get some avacado.

>>9327381
>>9327400
Who was in the wrong here?

>>9327920
>>9327861
this seemed like they had problems with whiteys always asking how to eat it. apparently its probably whitey tourist in sinagpore.

>>9328400
veg are additions, to taste. its poor people food having 'more' is always a plus. sprouts cuts salt. lemon brightens up the stock,
sauce is for dipping the meat. again optional to taste.
and yes slurp your noodle if you want, go to town. its not another god damned meal with a bowl of rice so fucking enjoy it.

>>9327920
>sriracha chili sauce and hoisin sauce are traditional condiments

lmfao what the fuck vietnamese are retarded

>>9328400
use chopsticks. grab noodles and eat. everything else is optional.

its fucking noodle soup cmon

>>9327417
Good think I'm not picking the goddamn sushi apart, you dip.

>>9327401

>>9327565

>>9328524
Fake gooks.

>>9328174
but you're wrong though. you can go through life assuming everyone means huy fong brand whenever they say "sri racha", but you will often be surprised.

>>9329274

needs a gong in it somewhere

I eat rolls with sticks and nigiri with my hands since i find it the most practical for and hell yeah i mix wasabi with soy sauce its great fuck everyone who is bothered by this

>>9328432

>>9329285
You ruin the wasabi and you ruin the soy sauce
It also creates a mess

Are other cultures as autistic when it comes to eating? Do Indians frown at you if you use fork and plates instead of eating shit off the floor with your hand? Do americans get mad if their food isn't bathed in ranch sauce? do brits get upset if their food doesnt taste like shit?

>>9329297
It works for me and i like the taste

>>9329317
Indians are upset if you are using the ass washing hand for eating since they are a third world country who wash theire asses after shitting in the streets with a bare hand

>>9329317
I'm kind of curious why this gets labeled as "autism". It seems rather practical to me.

For example, if you have a piece of salmon sushi like the OP pic, why would you soak it in a big bowl of wasabi-spiked soy sauce? You obviously couldn't taste the fish over the strong saltiness of that much soy & the kick of the wasabi. There's no autism there, just common sense.

I don't give a shit about tradition for traditions sake. Who gives a fuck about doing something a certain way just because muh tradition? But when there's a solid reason involved things are quite different.

>>9329323

>No, NO! Pajeet! Left hand is for wiping! Do not eat with it! Stop this madness!
>But Mujab, you used your left hand while preparing the food
>This was different

India, not even once. Anyone got that UN study that showed Indian street food having an absurd amount of fecal matter and e-coli in it?

>>9329330
Because it just is it's like people fighting over how to eat ketchup with your fries some prefer it over the fries while others prefer it to dunk into the ketchup/mayo just like some people prefer to dunk the rice part into the soy sauce and not the fish part

>>9329342
No but i never been to india and don't plan on ever going there so i really don't care about it that much desu

>>9329342
>Indian co-worker goes back to visit India

>>9329330
I really hope you are being ironic. You are autistic. You don't understand anything other people do

>>9329279
YoOOOOOoo

>>9329320
You can't taste the fish Anon
The rice also falls apart

>>9329377
>I really hope you are being ironic.
Absolutely not.

>You don't understand anything other people do
I agree. I just pointed out that it makes no logical sense whatsoever to drown the subtle taste of fish with large amounts of extremely overpowering condiment.
If you like fish, don't overpower it.
If you like the taste of wasabi and soy then there are plenty of other vehicles for that flavor that make more sense than a mild piece of fish.

I understand that people have different opinions/preferences regarding different foods. I totally get that. But there are specific examples which fall outside the concept of "preference" and just make no sense at all. This is one of them.

>>9327890
This is a myth. Yes you have a lot of cutlery, but if you're eating, you just start from the outside as it's laid in the order of the course. The etiquette stems from knowing HOW to lay the table, which really is something for the help.

>>9327400
Oof. It was like watching autistic build-up and then flared past sperg out to cringey

Where I live sometimes they bread and fry the sushi and the soy sauce is poured all over the rolls rather than being dipped, as well as other sauces like chipotle dressing, eel sauce or siracha sauce. Also it usually comes with avocado as well.

the logic here is obvious: you eat sushi that way because it's well made and the fish is delicious, served at the right temperature, usually made with a judiciously applied bit of wasabi and even some kind of in-house brushed on sauce.

you eat it that way because it is actually the best way to enjoy the sushi.

when you're getting shit sushi of a conveyor belt or a cold supermarket refrigerator, you might want to dose it up with a fuckton of soy and wasabi stirred into a clumpy paste. even the top sushi chefs would probably agree with that. just like the top butchers would happily slosh A1 over the thin cut curled up sirloin you serve at your shit barbecue.

>>9327983

That sure was difficult.

So do I read Get Jiro first or the prequel first?

>>9327878
The 'right way' is that you don't drop nigirizushi into the soy sauce and rice down at that. You dip it in fish/topping side down. Hand or chopstick are both fine.

>>9329922
fuck u i do what i want

>>9329297
>It also creates a mess
Maybe if you have parkinsons. Mashing the wasabi/horseradish isn't what I'd call a difficult thing to do; doubly so if you do it before you pour the soy sauce.

>>9329922
Can't wait to use this to piss people off. Gonna dunk my half eaten rice in a mixed bowl of ginger and soy sauce.

Sashimi is for dumb retards. Avocado rolls and california rolls are much better. This is why america is number one.

>>9329932
The prequel is nowhere near as good as the original, IMHO. And you certainly don't need to know anything about the prequel for the original to make sense.

You aren't suppose to hand money directly to anyone in Japan, its rude.

>“Nobody cares about it,” says Keiichi Masuda, owner and chef at Mikado restaurant on Laird Dr. in Leaside, which he opened 31 years ago. “Only sushi chefs care.”
>About five years ago, he gently suggested to a sushi-bar customer that she shouldn’t dip the nigiri into the soy rice-side down, and that she was using too much sauce.
>“She got mad and never came back,” says the chef, who serves sea urchin, octopus, squid, barbecued eel, monkfish liver and salmon that he smokes himself over imported Japanese cherrywood. “That’s why I made the sign.”

>>9329274
>That jester reference
You sly devil

>>9327861
I used to hate pho. My friends introduced me to it and it smelled good, and I was about to dig in, and they stopped me and told me I'm supposed to douse sriracha and oyster sauce in the soup before eating.

I poured it in like they suggested, and it tasted like shit. I revisited a few years later and enjoyed it the way I wanted like putting the sauces on the side and dipping the beef and shit. Total game changer. Sometimes you realize people have shit tastes when eating specific dishes.

Reminder, sushi rolls were stolen from the Koreans who were making rice with vegetables rolled in seaweed, called bokssam (복쌈), as early as the 14th century. In the modern era they changed the name to kimbap. They aren't even Japanese at all.

Redpill me on sushi etiquette

My parents take a lot of wasabi, then the pickled ginger and mix it with soy sauce in the dipping saucer. Then they completely soak their sushi to the point where they cry from the amount of wasabi they just consumed.

I will not take them to a decent sushi place because they wouldn't notice the difference.

I smother on a lil ball of wasabi & shove it down my gullet. WITH MY HANDS

>>9327381

1) I've never eaten "sushi"
