How to eat sushi - you've been doing it wrong

someone told me years ago that they use their fingers in Japan and not chopsticks. I was very happy to hear that and have been slobbing it ever since

Great video!

I would have liked to see his instructions for eating rolls with the rice in the outside.
Fingers like the roll he showed or chopsticks like the nigiri?

I now prefer Nigiri and use my fingers.

Anthony Bourdain showed us this years ago...

Wanna have some real fun? Ask for the roll uncut, then eat it like a hot dog. The chef behind the bar will look at you like your eating someone's arm.

Haha, ask for mustard and relish to go with it.

I mix my wasabi into my soy sauce and then basically soak my rolls in it. I'm trash, but at least I own it,

I’ve been eating sushi/sashimi since 1983. When Suntory (Japan) purchased Kentwood Spring Water, my dad was responsible for taking their corporate executives out to dinner. First thing I learned was chop sticks were a no no, and to use your hands. Warm hand towels were provided prior to eating to clean your hands. Very few Japanese restaurants still do this.

When does he start making the sword?

I prefer the nori on the outside because the roll retains some of the moisture from the rice and seasoned vinegar. The nori also seems to add a little more flavor to roll

This. I think rice on outside is only for aesthetics.
