You are doing it wrong! How you really need to eat sushi

So this is how to consume a Japanese dish.

It is not known who the Japanese actress wanted to teach how to eat sushi – not her own compatriots, but the video caught the eye of Russian gourmets, and a heated discussion began. A Russian person always knows how to eat national dishes of different countries, so many began to assure that the girl was wrong in her video.

Tiktokershu named Shinto Keka is very tasty to watch, she discusses different appetizers and shows how she eats them. The young actress talks about growing up in rice fields in Miyagi Prefecture on the island of Honshu. And, most likely, she can be trusted when she talks about how sushi is eaten in Japan. For the demonstration, the girl laid out a platter with salmon, shrimp, tuna and eel. The dish needed fresh ginger (mind you, not pickled) and sauce in a bottle. At the beginning of the video, Shinto Keka shows how we usually eat sushi: dip it completely in soy sauce and put it in our mouth. The girl is indignant: “What are you doing?” And shows you how to do it right.

“We take gingerbread with chopsticks, fill it with sauce and just grease the fish with it,” says Keka.

Yes, yes, she said “gingerbread” and “sauce” – an affectionate girl.

The girl is outraged that we dip sushi in soy sauce

The video was viewed by more than 600 thousand followers and left 11 thousand comments. The Russians were hurt that the girl ate the dish without wasabi and did not have a container with sauce.

“I’m not going to eat dry sushi, it’s tastier to dunk”, “First you coat the sushi with wasabi, put ginger on top, then you dip the whole thing in sauce to make it soaked … That’s how it should be,” “You don’t spoil our rolls with your traditions,” they resisted Russians.   

But then connoisseurs joined in and explained that in the Land of the Rising Sun the sauce is concentrated, so a few drops are enough for sushina. And they also have the freshest fish, so there is no need to “disinfect” it with sour-salty seasoning.

Commentators humorously noticed that the girl would faint if she saw us finish the sauce, and some also eat sushi with bread. “Come to us, we will teach you how to eat,” said hospitable netizens.
