Sushi is cold cooked rice flavoured with vinegar, shaped into bite-sized pieces and then topped with raw or cooked fish, or formed into a roll with fish, egg or vegetables and wrapped in seaweed.
Learn how to eat this popular Japanese food in this easy-to-follow video tutorial.
Some very important Sushi eating manners that you must take note of:
• Never pass food to another person from your chopsticks to theirs. This mimicks part of a Japanese funeral ritual and is therefore it is considered extremely offensive
• Pour a little of the dipping soy sauce into your dish. Don't tip in too much - this is considered greedy and wasteful. You can take more if you need it
• Ideally you should eat the sushi piece in one go, or two at a push. Try not to take a bite and return it to your plate.
• As much as possible, try not to leave any food on your plate. It is considered especially rude to leave rice.
