And why not chew it off? Is it like in church where you’re not supposed to nibble your consecrated wafer?

I agree with the other things, though. And I feel like I’m supposed to repost the old “The Japanese Tradition” video on sushi: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bDL8yu34fz0 It’s awesome. (And since satire doesn’t always translate on the internet: It’s a spoof.)

Don’t chew it off because the rice will go everywhere. But if you’ve got a plate then your fine.

Last time I had sushi (about a week ago), I tried a place I’d never tried before. I ordered some sashimi and they were huge. If I’d eaten those in one bite each, it would have been like that game “chubby bunny”. But then again I don’t really know how authentic this particular sushi place was. Tasted great, though.

Sushi is supposed to be bite-sized. In my experience this is not always the case in practice, but the idea is that you should just pop the whole thing in your mouth.

I want to say it’s some reason a long the lines of “it was masterfully creafted in such a way that the only best experience is to eat the whole thing at once, and to do otherwise is to insinuate a lack of respect”, with the disclaimer that I don’t actually know if that’s what it is.

I think a good display of respect and that you enjoyed something, is to finish your plate. But that doesn’t mean you got to swallow everything at once?!

As I understand it, sushi in this context is specifically made to be a single bite.
