Do you want to eat sushi as authentically as possible?

Then follow this order: start with mild white fish or squid, followed by silver fish such as mackerel hake and then coloured fish such as salmon or maki with salmon roe. Fatty and flavourful fish are the highlight. Nori Maki or sweet “Tamagoyaki” (Japanese omelette) round off the experience.

Eat some pickled ginger after each variety to neutralise the taste. If you want it a little spicier and as authentic as possible, spread some wasabi paste on the fish with a chopstick.

Green Sencha tea or a cool beer go well with it.

Practice makes perfect—in Japan it takes up to 15 years to become a “sushiya” or “itame”, Japanese for “the one behind the board”. Compared to a “sushiya”, an “itame” uses ten knives to cut fish and process vegetables. In the first years of training, the focus is on sharpening knives and washing rice.
