Did you know in the early days of sushi making, the rice was not intended to be eaten. The fish was wrapped in fermented rice to give it an ‘umani’ flavor, then discarded before serving the sushi. BONUS: Eat nigiri sushi (fish on rice) rice up, in one bite, and with your hands for best results! I personally love my sushi dipping it in a blend of soy sauce and plenty of wasabi. How do you like yours? Bon appétit mes amis!
