How Does One Eat Sushi?

Abstract

When one eats sushi is it useful to think about its origins and the way it developed into nigiri-zushi and maki-zushi. While sushi was created in bite-sized pieces as an early form of fast food to be eaten with the fingers, it is still helpful to know a bit about how to handle chopsticks, especially for the side dishes that cannot be picked up with the fingers. And, of course, there are also a few subtle, unwritten rules.
