Sushi‘s common depiction is the nigirizushi in which the ingredients are placed on top of vinegared rice. Aside from nigirizushi, there are also other types such as chirashizushi, oshisushi, makizushi, and many more. In the past, sushi is regarded as a high-class food and is eaten during celebrations. Although recently, conveyor belt sushi restaurants or kaiten zushi have been popping left and right, enabling people to eat

affordable sushi on a daily basis.

・Sushi is mainly eaten using your hands so it is advised to clean and sanitize your hands before touching the food. Sushi is not held entirely by the hand but it is more of pinched by the fingers. Avoid biting the sushi into half but rather eat it as a whole. When eating with chopsticks, grip the sushi firmly and avoid “sukuibashi” or “scooping” the sushi which is a taboo thing to do. You can also dip the sushi in soy sauce to enhance its flavor. Eating sushi with grated “gari” (pickled ginger) and green tea is also recommended. It is a must-try to eat sushi at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant even just once.

establishment where plates of sushi are being delivered to the customers through a rotating conveyor belt. The customers can order sushi or freely choose from the conveyor belt. Recently, things such as hamburger, yakiniku or grilled meat, pickled vegetables, fruits, and juices are served other than fish and sushi. The plates should not be returned but rather they are stacked on top of each other since the staff will count them to identify how much you are going to pay.
