Are you a sushi beginner? Never been out for an evening of
Japanese seafood dining? Then get yourself ready with the
following essential information about how to get the most
out of your sushi dining experience.
10 things to know about dining out for sushi
1. This is NOT Chinese food. Far too many people walk into
a fine neighborhood sushi establishment and immediately
request the Chow Mein special with a chicken egg roll.
That's Chinese food, people. Sushi is a fresh, raw and
healthy delicacy from Japan.
2. Watch out for the sake. Sake looks harmless enough; it
is served from decorative bottles in tiny cups and glasses.
But watch out for the alcohol kick from this strong
spirit. To experience a sushi restaurant in full, enjoy a
glass - but in keep it all in moderation.
3. Start with cooked menu items. It is a common
misconception that all sushi is raw. Beginners may want to
give cooked items such as California rolls or unagi (eel) a
try before moving on to raw dishes.
4. Stick with what you know. Many of the types of fish
you have enjoyed for years are available at a sushi bar -
simply in raw form. If you like salmon or grouper - stick
with their raw equivalent when ordering sushi for the first
time.
5. Be prepared for the omakase. Omakase is loosely
translated as "chef's choice" and ordering it puts you in
the hands of the experienced sushi chef. Bear in mind,
that while this option may indeed produce some delightful
dishes, they may be a little too advanced for the novice
palette.
6. Go veggie if you like. Did you know that you can eat a
completely satisfying sushi dinner without eating any fish?
It's easy if you stick to the vegetable rolls (such as the
cucumber roll) and substitute veggies for seafood in other
dishes.
7. It's good to ask questions. At some snootier fine
dining establishments (French restaurants, we're looking in
your direction) asking questions is frowned upon. However,
at sushi bars, questions are encouraged. The best sushi
chefs love to talk about their craft and share insight into
the different dishes they will be serving.
8. Sushi is a healthy meal. Sushi is low in fat, filled
with important nutrients and packed with vital protein.
If you eat out once a week, it is much better for your body
than a burger joint or chain restaurant.
9. Start the kids out young. The best way to raise a
child with a sophisticated palette is to introduce them to
different dishes at a young age. Taking them to a fun
sushi restaurant is a great way to start them out on a
life-long love of great seafood and Japanese cuisine.
10. You can enjoy sushi AND keep kosher. More and more,
sushi restaurants are offering full kosher options as part
of their menu. That means individuals who wish to
maintain a strict adherence to their kosher diet can enjoy
all the fun and good taste of a real sushi bar.
