Nigiri
sushi is a popular form of sushi where a sliver of raw fish or prawns rests on a bed of sushi rice. This
oblong shaped sushi dish is highly trendy, as it allows the full flavor
of the fish to be the star.
There are many ways to make nigiri sushi, which means that while you can
order the same style of fish many times, each time you have it, it can
be a new experience. Some chefs prefer to use nori as a way to keep the
fish on the bed of rice. Other chefs prefer a small amount of wasabi. As
there are also many diverse ways to prepare sushi rice, the rice itself
can modify the flavor of the fish. The taste of Nigiri sushi depends on
the way you adopted to eat it and there are many ways to eat it. While
eating Nigiri sushi keep that in mind that you have to eat Nigiri so
that your tongue would first taste the fish. Eating rice below the
Nigiri would not give you a delicious taste. So before eating Nigiri
make it sure that you know what is the right way of eating because sushi
chefs chiefly give importance to the fish. Many people like the flavor
of soy sauce with their nigiri sushi. However, there is a very specific
way that nigiri sushi should be dipped into soy sauce and wasabi. Unlike
maki or other forms of sushi, nigiri sushi can become extremely
complicated to eat if the rice becomes wet from soy sauce. Because of
this, nigiri sushi should be dipped in soy sauce with the fish portion.
This will ensure that the rice bed
does not break apart when you are attempting to eat it. As sushi making
is a talent, the way of eating sushi is also a skill. You can either
use your fingers or chopsticks to eat the Nigiri sushi. Be vigilant
whenever you eat a sushi meal, try not to waste anything. It would be
taken as an insult for the sushi maker if you leave anything in your
platter without eating it because they assume you will complete all your
sushi. Although if you do not take any sushi from the primary serving
dish it would not be considered offensive because it is not at all
necessary to select sushi from the main dish. Nigiri sushi must be taken
in one go. But if your Nigiri sushi is bigger than normal sushi, you
can eat it in two pieces. All the sushi
food, excluding Temaki sushi, should not be consumed by taking
more than two bites.
