Read on for more! What to Wear While Eating: While in Japan, it is customary to wear a red sash around your waist. This helps you identify yourself as a member of the local Japanese community while eating on the street. You may also choose to wear a white hat when eating so that your eyes are not obscured. Do's And Don'ts Of Sushi Eating: For all those who are unfamiliar with Japanese etiquette, it is strongly advised to practice these "dos and don'ts" while eating sushi. While in some places in the country, such as Tokyo, there are no such rules and regulations regarding the wearing of sushi hats, in other areas such as Kyoto, the locals will often prefer to wear hats, especially at certain times of the year, such as during the spring and autumn seasons. In addition, it is often considered polite to take a bite or two of the sushi before eating it. Something to Remember: The most important factor when dining out in a restaurant, whether in the city or in the countryside is to be respectful and polite to the server. However, with sushi etiquette, you have to also be practical. In other words, sushi should be enjoyed, not avoided. It is important to not eat something you are not totally satisfied with, or something you would rather not have. Some less important tip: When dining outdoors, always try to wear a pair of flip flops so that you can step on the fish without having to stoop over and scoop it up. If you do have to step over and scoop up something that doesn't quite fall away, try to keep the food on the ground. How To Eat In A Restaurant: Most restaurants offer a variety of appetizers or hors dainty side dishes to accompany the main course of sushi and these include some dishes, pickles, soybeans, rice cakes, or sweet potatoes. There are many more options for main course selections. And while you are dining, don't forget to ask if they have any specialty foods like crab legs, as they often do! Food Etiquette is an art form that needs to be learned. In fact, learning proper Japanese etiquette goes hand in hand with learning about sushi. This is a very entertaining and informative book. It teaches us the ins and outs of the Japanese culture including things like food etiquette, cultural differences, and the different cultural factors behind different foods. As one reviewer put it, "This book provides a detailed history of sushi as well as a detailed description of Japanese sushi, making this the ultimate reference guide for a novice and expert alike." I agree with this assessment. This book is truly an excellent starting point for anyone who is serious about their Japanese cuisine and culture. I would definitely recommend that everyone buy this book. It also goes into the history of sushi itself. The author lays out the facts regarding what sushi is and why it is so popular. Along the way, he goes into the various types of sushi and how they are prepared. Finally, it offers some interesting tips about how to enjoy sushi, such as where to go to eat sushi, where to get sushi, and how to store your sushi. It also provides a good primer on how to make your own sushi at home and avoid the expensive costs associated with having sushi shipped from Japan.
