Both are fine, and many regulars prefer their hands at the sushi counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to eat each piece in one bite, which is how the chef has balanced it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-1\">Mind the soy sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour only a little soy sauce into your dish. Dip the fish, not the rice, so the piece does not fall apart or become too salty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mixing a large amount of wasabi into the soy sauce is common, but it hides the flavor of the fish.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-2\">Talk with the chef<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the counter, it is polite to order your fish from the chef and drinks from the server. Asking for a recommendation is a compliment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose omakase, the chef selects each course for you. Simply enjoy each piece as it is served.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few small habits show respect for the chef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dining-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sohosushiexpress.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
