Nobu Matsuhisa, owner of Nobu Restaurants Group and Hotels, discusses sushi etiquette. He explains that wasabi is already between the rice and fish, eliminating the need for extra. Matsuhisa suggests applying soy sauce and wasabi directly on the fish for a more traditional approach. He explains three ways to enjoy sushi: sashimi, nigiri, and rolls. For nigiri, he advises lightly dipping the fish side in soy sauce, using ginger to cleanse the palate between bites. Matsuhisa prefers one-bite portions, starting with lighter options and progressing to fattier fish. He concludes by recommending cucumber, oshinko, and sour prawn rolls.
Vocabulary:
• Wasabi: Japanese horseradish used as a condiment.
• Nigiri: Hand-pressed sushi consisting of a small ball of rice topped with fish or seafood.
• Sashimi: Thinly sliced raw fish, often served without rice.
• Palate: The roof of the mouth; here, referring to cleansing the palate.
• Oshinko: Pickled vegetables used in sushi rolls.
