I like sushi...well most of it. I like all my meats just about raw anyway....I won't even eat a steak unless it is still mooing

I would NOT eat it from a grocery store though (we are talking about a grocery store, right?) ...I don't eat any meat from a grocery store, much less raw meat

Couple of questions. There is, i think , raw sliced ginger in the tray. Is it a garnish or intended to be eaten? is sushi a finger food? I am thinking about taking my girls to a sushi bar and I do not want to look like a hick. I worry about them being well rounded educated ladies and i think that this would be a good experience .

That's a fun word: sashimi

Kind of rolls off the tongue. Just like sushi when you're spitting it out!

Hi Dawn, I had to come find this thread after you mentioned it on fb. I do eat the ginger and LOVE it, but I'm the only one out of me and my 3 kids. I also like a dab of wasabi. I love the ones with sesame seeds or tobiki. I really enjoy the shrimp and crab ones but I know those are cooked. I like the salmon but am not real crazy about the tuna...although I know a lot of people like it best. I think I pretty much like all of them, but haven't had the octopus or eel...and am not sure that I will. The seaweed looks good. I think I'd like that and will probably try it next time.

I don't know that any of us Barbarian Americans really eats sushi "properly".... the best lesson I think your girls can learn is that if you are polite, even if you use your entree fork for your salad, if you do so with panache it doesn't matter.

Attitude, confidence, and poise are everything.

Those slices of ginger are pickled. I like to eat them between different pieces of sushi as a sort of palate cleanser. I know it seems natural, but putting ginger in your sake will NOT produce a sweet/hot ginger sake cocktail.

You can mix wasabi with your soy sauce or not, as you choose. I smear a bit on whatever pieces I want to. I've developed quite the addiction to the wasabi, and usually put enough on the simpler rolls (cucumber, california) to really vaporize the sinuses.

I eat small pieces (ones you can fit in your mouth) with chopsticks, and pick up larger pieces with my fingers and take bites out of them. On the one hand, the japanese think that taking a bite out of something is incredibly rude... on the other, they make those huge pieces that will NEVER fit in most mouths, so... <shrug>

Read the menu carefully, and ask if you have questions. Your first time out, getting mostly cooked rolls might be the way to go. Smoked salmon, anything baked or toasted, shrimp (usually... sweet shrimp are almost raw), tempura-cooked stuff, crabstick are all cooked ingredients. Most sushi chefs will take requests that aren't on a menu (particularly if they aren't busy), or can make suggestions per dietary restrictions or preference (cooked rolls, replace seaweed paper with soy sheet, etc).

I'm hungry. Sigh... I wish Kroger wasn't 40 minutes away.

Not to sound stupid.. but I thought my town was the only one that had a Kroger

We have a great Japanese Sushi bar in the next town over. My 8 year old son will not eat cooked fish. The first time I let him try my sushi he devoured it. He eats it more like sushimi, he pulls the raw fish off of the rice and eats them separately. I just wish it was cheaper as a full meal for the family is about $75.

I don't even like sushi and this thread is making me want it.

I think it is the seaweed that I don't like, and maybe the cold rice.
