Sushi is made from raw fish. Raw fish is just one of the elements of the dish; many sushi do not have fish at all. Sometimes they are made from pickled fish. Therefore, it is not necessary at all that there is raw fish in the composition.

Be sure to use soy sauce. Soy sauce is not suitable for all components used in sushi. Sometimes soy sauce can completely ruin the taste of the dish, so using it is not necessary at all. Japanese restaurants prefer serving a sauce called nikiri, each cook has his own recipe.

The third myth is that you always add wasabi. Wasabi is a component with a very strong aroma that can overshadow the taste of the dish. It’s not necessary to add wasabi, some of the Japanese cooks consider adding a large amount of wasabi to the dish as an insulting gesture.

The freshest tuna is pink. There are many tricks, thanks to which stale fish can return a beautiful color. Such methods, as a rule, are not used in well-known restaurants.

Ginger is a side dish for sushi. Ginger is not accompanied in the dish as a side dish. It is used to refresh the mouth and taste buds before using the next portion of sushi.

Sushi should be washed down with sake. In fact, traditionally sushi is served with beer. Therefore, in good restaurants, salads and snacks are served first, so that those sitting at the table can drink a little sake, and then they bring sushi.
