Alix said:Keltin, my post above says that the Japanese use the other end of their chopsticks to avoid contaminating a communal dish. So I would say there is at least one difference in the chopstick etiquette there.
Both ways are correct. You can eat it with your fingers (it is considered finger food), but chopsticks are also acceptable.BreezyCooking said:Actually, I always understood that the Japanese eat nigiri & maki sushi with their fingers - not with chopsticks at all. That's how I always saw it done in the Japanese restaurants in NY, & when dining in Japanese restaurants with Japanese clientele here in VA.
