Nobu Matsuhisa, owner of Nobu Restaurants Group and Hotels, opened his first restaurant in 1987 in Los Angeles; today he owns 47 and one of them is in the One&Only in Cape Town, close to the V&A Waterfront.
The sushi master gave Business Insider some tips to eat sushi the traditional Japanese way:
- You don’t need extra Wasabi – there should always be inside, between the rice and fish.
- You can use chopsticks or your fingers — it doesn’t matter.
- A more traditional way of eating sushi is to take the fish, dip it into soy and then put the wasabi on the middle of the fish.
- There are the three traditional ways: sashimi, nigiri, and roll.
- For nigiri - make a half-turn, grab with chopsticks and dip into the soy sauce on the fish side. The rice shouldn’t touch the soy.
- Ginger can be used to cleanse your pallet to clean the fish taste.
- For sushi rolls – just a little dip of soy is needed.
- All sushi should eaten in one bite.
