Sushi Etiquette

H

ave you ever wondered how to eat sushi? I'm sure most of you reading these words have eaten sushi at one time or another, but have you eaten it at a sushi bar? Did you know that there is a special code of behavior to eating sushi at a sushi bar in Japan? Everything from how to walk through a noren--the short curtain hung in the doorway of shops--to how to indicate to the sushi chef that you have finished eating. The link below is a short primer just for you!

Okay, if you've watched the video, you probably figured out that it's a spoof on the "culture" of eating sushi. I'm sure you could tell what was obviously bogus, but was there anything in the video that was legit? Or perhaps there was a portion of the video that got you wondering whether this was true or not. Anyway, let me know. Thanks to Chippy for the link...
