your hands — Nigiri is
Sushi actually refers to particularly difficult to eat with
chopsticks, as the finger of rice is
meant to crumble in your mouth,
and tends to fall apart, especially
when dipped.
You should just dip the fish in
the soy sauce and return it to the
rice where the fish is often
attached with the appropriate
amount of nasal-clearing wasabi.
Presentation is often important.
The ultimate extreme would be
Nyotaimori (female body
presentation), where the sushi is
laid out upon a woman “in the
raw.”
The model is trained to lay
supine as your buffet table, taking
short, shallow breathes, so as not
to upset the display, and bring the
rolls to just under body
temperature (you wash or douse
yourself in some cold water
beforehand to reach the right
temperature).
Believe me, it’s not the weirdest
Japanese sexual idiosyncrasy
from the Western perspective.
However, Westerners do tend
to find sushi yummy, once they
get over the raw fish thing, and as
long as you shy away from such
Western additions as mayonnaise
and cream cheese, it’s very
healthy.

With sushi, you know the fish is
fresh (don’t ask, the intamae or
he’ll be insulted). But it’s also just
as likely that the wasabi isn’t.
The wasabi root requires lots of
water, has a short shelf life and
takes three to four years to
cultivate, so what you usually get
is a mixture of horse radish,
mustard and food coloring.
But Sushi Tora goes through

Sushi is not the sort of thing

Though clean of a lot of oils —
except for healthy Omega 3s —
it’s good for you, but not the
wallet, and it’s not the sort of
thing you want to skimp on, since
it’s all about the quality of the fish
and skill of the intamae.
So, a little under $20 for all-you-
can-eat is about as good of a deal
as you want find.
Any cheaper wouldn’t be sushi.
