Here is a little video on how to eat sushi in a traditional Japanese way. In the past I have worked at a sushi restaurant and learned a great deal from working there. This may be America but learn a few things about this tradition and you will enjoy the experience much better.

Here are a few tips to get you started enjoying the experience with friends.

1. If you want to only eat sushi, sit only at the sushi bar.
2. Greet other people at the bar and greet the itamae (sushi chef).
3. Ask the itamae what he recommends, it's usually the freshest of the day and sometimes a specialty not on the menu.
4. Don't think you have to eat a lot, eat in moderation. Usually three (Japanese lucky number) at a time.
5. Drink green tea, sake or beer. Other drinks including wine and soda disturb the delicate flavors of the food.

Enjoy and let's get together. KAMPAI!
