Do ya dip the sushi in the soy sauce, or do you gently brush it against the soy sauce

[julia crawford]

I just had super good sushi take out and it's one of those things, i know i want to dip it DEEEEEP in that sauce but i know it's wrong and unfashionable and probably bad for my health, so i try not to do it too much in front of other people and just wait until they go to the bathroom or something,

What about y'all, how salty do ya like it

 

[Ryuelli]

I dip the soy sauce in the sushi.

 

[GYODX]

I dip because I'm uncivilized.

 

[Squarehard]

It depends on the actual fish or roll.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I know it's wrong, but I mix up the wasabi (I know it's not real wasabi) and soy sauce and dunk it.

 

[Deleted member 24052]

I use no soy sauce because I am a maniac.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Soak it in, baby

It's the best way.

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

Forget soy sauce. Spicy mayo is the shit.

 

[Hours Left]

Gently brush it? With what, lol, the end of the chopstick?

 

[blame space]

i don't even eat sushi i eat macaroni and peas

this is the way

 

[kowhite]

Just depends. Regular joints? I whip up my soy sauce wasabi slurry and dunk like Michael Jordan.

Much higher end stuff? Less so.

 

[Midramble]

Aburi no sauce.

This is the way.

Pour over before starting....

This...It's just too good that way.

 

[Felt]

Really depends on the specific fish and quality. Marinated salmon sushi? Don't dip. Plain tuna sushi? All the things

 

[Potterson]

I don't like too much sauce cause I actually eat sushi to taste the sushi.

That's how I do it too, though less of a dunk than a dip.

 

[subpar spatula]

I don't use soy sauce or any dipping sauce for that matter.

 

[blame space]

no one here eats sushi. maybe .05%

 

[kmfdmpig]

I use soy sauce sparingly as I want to taste the fish, not the sauce. My wife who was born and raised in Japan dips it right in as do many of her Japanese friends so I'm not sure that the notion that it's incorrect or inauthentic to do so is accurate.

Sushi chefs would have heart attacks reading about the people that do the wasabi soy sauce sludge paste thing. They're supposed to be separate for the two very unique flavors they give
Ffs people

 

[RedPanda]

The more Soy Sauce the better. I usually go through 2 bottles at the restaurant.

 

[Reeks]

Full dunk in wasabi-soy sludge

 

[Slash Ess]

Use my fingers and gently brush the fish side with the sauce

 

[Saifu]

I like my sushi without soy sauce and wasabi.

Using a new toothbrush, I gingerly caress the outer edges of the sushi until I've formed multiple little "folds" in the rice. I press each fold into a ripple by breathing gently into a plastic straw. Once several ripples have emerged on the sushi, I smooth the contours with one-part wasabi to two-parts eel sauce. By this point, the individual pieces look not unlike a seafood stegosaurus. To ensure that the one-part wasabi to two-parts eel sauce slumbers soundly within the stegosaurus-esque slices of sushi, I attach a paper clip to all four corners. The paper clip allows excess one-part wasabi to two-parts eel sauce to stream down to the plate without ruining the aesthetic. I remove the paper clips prior to consumption.

I put the fake wasabi on every piece of sushi then dunk them in soy sauce.

No, it's only safe to take in.

In to your mouth.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Soy sauce is a bit overpowering for me when it's drenching whatever I'm eating so I graze the puddle.

 

[Jotakori]

I like actually tasting my sushi, so I don't use soy sauce.

also this^ why do people think top sushi chefs are so revered? There's an art to it, They construct their menus, their serving sizes, ingredients in a certain way to give you the full ideal taste experience they're intending. Nowhere did I say " don't do this", go off all you want dunk it in every eel/mayo/spicy/ teriyaki sauce. Just that there's a way Top sushi is suggested to be eaten , there's a history to it.

 

[Surakian]

I put the wasabi in the soy sauce then dip my sushi on its side into the mixture then eat it.

I'm a heathen.

Really though, who cares. Enjoy your food! Never mind lots of sushi places don't exactly have amazing fish quality, so all the more reason to do it.

 

[OSHAN]

I used to like soy sauce on sushi, but I prefer it without it now. It gives a similar flavor to everything.

[MazeHaze]

None just wasabi

 

[Deleted member 3542]

Depends on the sushi but good sushi doesn't even need soy sauce.

 

[sgtnosboss]

I do everything wrong because I like the way it tastes and I don't care. soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger, all on top. don't @ me. I know its not right, and i know what each is supposed to be for. I don't care lol...

 

[Slv]

Damn, I do it the right way, I take a small bit of the pickled ginger, I drown it lightly in soy sauce and put it on top of the sushi piece and then eat it, best taste if I do use the soy sauce and the correct way as far as I know.
