“Thank you for waiting everyone… Finally, a topic about food that you were waiting for!”

I’m very sure that for many people, one of the things that you are drooling to eat in Japan, is sushi, right? Yes, sushi is one of Japan’s traditional cuisines with centuries of history, and they are of course one of the most delicious things you can eat in Japan.

However, because it has such a long history and can be regarded as a very luxurious meal, there are actually quite a lot of taboos and rules regarding eating sushi.

So today, as a Japanese man who could eat sushi every day, I will explain the 5 taboos related to eating sushi. The taboos will get more and more critical towards the end, so I hope you can check them all out!

By the way, my favorite sushi is sea bream(snapper) and salmon! If you have any favorites, please let me know in the comments below!

This video will be perfect for those who are willing to come to Japan someday, to learn more about the culture and enjoy eating sushi. As I always say in these “manner” videos, many Japanese people too don't know about these rules or make mistakes, and the purpose is just to reassure my viewers who are a little nervous about possibly being rude at restaurants. So please just keep the things I introduce today somewhere in your mind, and when you actually come, please just fully enjoy the meal as you like.
