I was reading the Bee (Taste section) and there was an article on sushi, one of my favorite dishes. And in the article was this this question; chopsticks or fingers? And the answer is...it's up to the diner, but traditionally sushi is eaten by picking up each piece with the fingers!
Other tips. Dip the topping of the sushi into the soy sauce, not the more absorbent block of rice on the bottom. Also put it in your mouth upside down, so the topping, rather than the rice, is what you first taste . And the sliced and pickled ginger (gari) is used to cleanse the palate between courses.
Now, where's a good sushi restaurant so I can practice?
