To give you just a little sushi etiquette, it is considered acceptable to eat maki rolls and nigiri sushi with either your hands or chopsticks. Though forks are not traditionally used to eat any type of sushi, it is not necessarily considered rude. But if you’re a purist, you may want to get comfortable using chopsticks or your fingers! Sashimi should only be eaten with chopsticks.
When eating nigiri sushi, you dip the fish side, rather than the rice, into the soy sauce to avoid soaking your sushi too heavily and overpowering its taste.
You eat both maki rolls and nigiri sushi in just one bite (so keep this in mind when cutting your sushi rolls or making nigiri). Pickled ginger is considered a palate cleanser and should be eaten between different types of sushi and not on top of or with a bite of sushi.
