Tokyo is the sushi capital of the world, with thousands of restaurants serving this popular dish.
But if you want to experience Tokyo sushi like a local, there are a few things you need to know.
We used ChatGPT and Google bronze to make the list.
Find your secret temple. Tokyo has thousands of sushi restaurants, but not all of them are equal. If you want to experience the best, look for a small, intimate restaurant with a good reputation. The best thing to do is to ask for a recommendation from friends or locals.
Sit at the counter. This is the best place to have a real sushi eating experience. When you sit at the counter, you can see the chef in action and chat with him about the dishes.
We nodded to the chef. When you enter the restaurant, nod to the chef as a mark of respect. It's also a way to let them know you're ready to start your meal.
Order Umkasa. Omkasa is a unique tasting experience where the chef chooses the dishes for you. This is the best way to try a variety of different sushi dishes and leave the choice to the professional chef.
Eat with your hands. That's right, you don't have to use chopsticks to eat sushi. In fact, it is considered impolite in some places. So don't hesitate to eat your sushi with your hands.
Do not dip the rice in soy. One common mistake is to dip the rice in soy. This is not true, because the rice should be soft and sweet. Instead, dip only the fish in soy.
Don't add too much wasabi. Wasabi is a mixture of green mustard, ginger and sesame oil. It is a very powerful spice, so there is no need to add too much. Usually, the chef has already added a small amount of wasabi to the piece of sushi.
Appreciate your meal. After you finish eating, be sure to express your appreciation to the chef. You can do this by saying "oishi" (delicious) or "arigato" (thank you).
