How to Eat Nigiri Sushi
By U Learn It | March 19, 2010
If a sushi is complemented with the slice of raw fish or prawns, it is called Nigiri sushi. This square looking sushi meal is most famous among all the sushi food because it gives a unique taste to fish. There are plenty of diverse methods to prepare a Nigire sushi, so if you buy a same fish lots of time, every time it would taste unlike than before.
Few sushi makers use Nori as a device to set the fish over the rice. While other like wasabi for this purpose. Sushi rice can enhance the taste of the fish and different methods have been used to do this.
The taste of Nigiri sushi depends on the way you adopted to eat it and there are many ways to eat it. While eating Nigiri sushi keep that in mind that you have to eat Nigiri so that your tongue would first taste the fish.
Eating rice below the Nigiri would not give you a mouth-watering taste. So before eating Nigiri make it sure that you know what is the right way of eating because sushi chefs chiefly give importance to the fish.
Soya sauce is widely used with Nigiri sushi. But it is not easy to have soya sauce and wasabi with Nigir as there is a particular technique of using them together. In other sushi dishes like Maki sushi, it is easy to eat them with soya sauce, but in Nigiri if rice soaks the soya sauce it would become a big mess for you. Due to this reason, soya sauce can only be applied over the fish so that rice bed does not crumble when you try to eat it.
As sushi making is a talent, the way of eating sushi is also a skill. You can either use your fingers or chopsticks to eat the Nigiri sushi. Be alert whenever you eat a sushi meal, try not to waste anything.
It would be taken as an insult for the sushi maker if you leave anything in your platter without eating it because they assume you will complete all your sushi. Although if you do not take any sushi from the major serving dish it would not be considered offensive because it is not at all necessary to select sushi from the major dish.
If your Nigiri sushi is of normal size you should eat it in one bite but if it is big then you might cut it into two pieces. Except Temaki sushi, all the sushi food must be taken within two bites.
