How To Eat Sushi Correctly | Cuisine Code | NowThis?

Eating sushi correctly is like playing a game where you get to taste tiny pieces of delicious food, and it’s super fun if you know the rules!

Sushi is like little food sandwiches made with rice, nori (which is seaweed paper), and sometimes fish or other tasty things inside. To eat them correctly, you use chopsticks, just like when you pick up tiny pieces of candy from a bowl.

How to Hold Chopsticks

Chopsticks are two sticks that work together, kind of like how your fingers and thumbs help you hold a pencil. You put one stick in the middle of your hand, and the other on top, and then you move them like a little dance to pick up the sushi.

How to Eat Sushi Like a Pro

When you bite into the sushi, you should taste all parts, the rice, the nori, and whatever is inside. Don’t just grab it with your hands unless it’s a special kind of sushi called hand-rolled (like when you make a little ball in your hand).

If you follow these rules, eating sushi becomes like solving a fun puzzle, and everyone gets to enjoy the delicious pieces!
